While accelerating from the ez-pass lane at a nj toll plaza, with no warning, the truck experienced a violent shudder and complete stall (engine power loss). Although the power did come back up within 3 seconds, it was very frightening and i felt my family was in danger with vehicles coming up behind us quickly. Luckily, we were able to get off the highway.

Driving at highway speed (apx. 70 mph) attempt to pass a slower vehicle, and upon acceleration, the truck lost all power, and would not speed up. The check engine light came on, and stayed on until the truck had been turned off and restarted.

I have a 2011 f150 with the 3.5 ecoboost. I have had numerous rough 3-4 upshifts since the truck was new. Brought the truck to dealer twice and was told they could not duplicate the rough shift. I have also had the engine stumble on me twice will trying to pass. I have read others are having similar problems and am hoping ford will have a fix before someone gets killed in a wreck. *kb

My complaint is that ford has a governor on the engine that only allows the vehicle to reach approximately 89 mph. Yet the speedometer indicates 120 mph and no indications in the owners manual that the engine has a governor and top speed is 89 mph. I believe ford is making a misrepresentation and false advertising to the public. Ford has stated to me the reason for this is to not exceed tire rating speed. However my…

I let off the gas and the truck continues to misfire for several more minutes before clearing…

Vehicle bogs while moderately accelerating onto the interstate while pulling a trailer with a load under 3,000 pounds. It seems as if the engine is stuck on the rev limiter. There is minimal power available and it is very dangerous. I did not buy a powerful truck in order to experience this. *tr
