The vehicle decelerated when i was merging onto two lanes of a interstate from a two lane on ramp. I was in the left lane of the on ramp and had a vehicle on my right and two semis in the interstate lanes. I had been on the road about 45 minutes in a light rain the whole time.

Driving down the interstate during wet conditions my 2012 ford f150 ecoboost started to stumble and loose power drastically while pulling a trailer. The truck would only do 30 mph as it shook and stumbled down the interstate. This power loss made it really dangerous to get off the road safely without other cars and trucks being affected. The only way to reset the truck was to shut the engine off and restart it. This…

I was on a highway going 65 mph, the conditions were drizzle/very humid, roughly 90 degrees outside. There was a slow car in front of me so i got in the on coming traffics lane to pass the car, but when i stomped on the gas pedal there was no response. My truck wouldn't accelerate so i pushed it a few more times and still nothing. There was a car coming and i almost got hit head on because of this incident and…

We were returning from arkansas in our f150 with the ecoboost engine in rain/heavy mist. We were on the interstate for a long period of time and when i went to pass a slower vehicle the truck just shook and wouldn't accelerate. It happened again 1.5 hours later in the same conditions, truck would not accept anything beyond 3/8 throttle. This happened before when we were in the rain (coming from arkansas) with the…

I have a 2012 ford f-150 with the ecoboost engine. While slowly accelerating at higher speeds (generally around 50 to 70 mph), the engine misses terribly on multiple cylinders and the truck jerks and lunges violently all while losing power and speed. It happens frequently, but most often when slowly accelerating to maintain speed up a hill or pass another vehicle. The loss of power is extremely dangerous, especially…

While driving on interstate i attempted to pass a slower vehicle. After moving over and accelerating - the truck buckled and stalled! I was almost rear ended by an 18 wheeler at 65 mph! This was very close to being a serious accident involving multiple vehicles. Please investigate and resolve this issue as ford doesn't seem to be concerned about it. Not to mention i took it in for ford to repair the problem and they…

I was merging on the on ramp to obtain highway speed i stepped on the gas when all of the sudden the truck started to shake really bad. I tried to step on the gas to accelerate but there was no throttle response to the engine as the truck continued to lose speed. Every time i tried to step on the gas the truck would shake even worse. I pulled over to the side of the road so i would not cause an accident. This is not…

Traveling at 60 + / - mph and attempted to pass another vehicle under normal conditions. Engine lost power on acceleration and seemed to sputter. This is strange as the gas was not "punched" or anything outside of normal passing acceleration. Initially i thought i may be out of gas or something but this was not the case. I have noted power loss two other times but did not think anything of it as the engine returned…

In the second instance, when the vehicle lost power, traffic conditions…

I only just learned of your investigation so my memory on exact dates and mileage may be off by a few weeks. I did take my truck to the ford dealer to report my incident so they should should have a record of this and the work they performed (baierl ford, zelienople, pa 16063). My 2012 f150 with the 3.5l ecoboost was about 6 months old at the time. I was passing a coal truck uphill on a 10% grade. I was not towing,…

Traveling on the interstate, little to no uphill or downhill grade, speed approximately 55, attempted to pass a tractor-trailer. Pressed hard on the accelerator pedal, and started the pass. Halfway thru the pass, passing speed 65-70 mph, my truck lost all power and started shaking violently. I backed off the accelerator, and pulled back in behind the tractor-trailer, then off to the right shoulder. I shut the engine…
