Truck will have severe intermittent stumble/misfiring on acceleration from 45mph+ in humid, wet or damp conditions. The vehicle shudders violently, bogs down, and check engine light flashes eventually becoming a solid engine light. This involves the engine shuddering when there is acceleration at highway speeds; this is very dangerous when trying to pass vehicles at highway speeds. Have my spark plugs and coils…

I was accelerating up around 45 mph and the vehicle just died to a rough idle. Car behind had to swerve to miss me.

I have a ford f150 ecoboost. This vehicle is very defective due to loss of power when driving on highway trying to overpass other vehicles..vehicle looses power due to moisture or humidity that enters the intercooler. It also makes the cylinders to misfire and the turbo. Due to that engine turns on and i have to power to my vehicle while driving which can cause an accident due to a sudden slow in the middle of the…

I was attempting to accelerate hard to merge into traffic onto interstate highway. When i pushed pedal to floor, the vehicle immediately slowed as if a governor had kicked in. Fortunately, i had room on shoulder to not get hit, but had to wait and pump pedal twice before it began to accelerate again. I have not tried to replicate the problem. I had an identical problem 3 years ago in another ecoboost ford f150 that…

While attempting to accelerate and pass slower traffic on the highway, my 2011 f150 (4x4, ecoboost) truck lost almost all engine power, the check engine light started to blink, and the entire truck shook violently. Due to the truck's sudden deceleration without brake lights signaling it, oncoming traffic (including a large tractor/trailer) approached from behind rapidly and everyone had to brake abruptly to avoid a…

I experienced lack of acceleration, sputtering, shaking from the vehicle while trying to pass on a 2 lane rural highway. This is second event of this nature and the first since having ford make certain repairs to engine to correct this issue. I have the v-6 eco boost engine. I am unhappy that this engine encounters this problem and it could result in a wreck with loss of life. This should be taken seriously! *tr

While traveling down the road and the need to accelerate to pass a much slower vehicle my truck lost all power and began shuddering very bad. With oncoming traffic approaching quickly i had to step on the brakes rather hard and quick to avoid a accident. What would have possibly happened if i was towing a legal but heavy load? Ford has a known problem with the coils on the ecoboost and this truly needs to be…

I got online and realized i wasn't the only…

While accelerating the truck hesitates, looses power and jerks violently, the check engine light flashes several times while passing a vehicle. When the truck jerks and looses power it feels like the engine is about to explode. Has almost caused several accidents because of the sudden lost of power. It appears to me that the truck is misfiring. *tr
