Shifts very hard as well. This has happened while i was driving in our neighborhood as well as on the highway. Seems to happen everytime i drive above 65mph, but occasionally in the neighborhood. The random shifting of gears…

I was with my family on the way to church. I was making a right turn out of our neighborhood onto the highway when all of the sudden there was a complete loss in power and was unable to resume acceleration. The highway also has a moderate incline in slope which caused the vehicle to slow dramatically. We were almost rear-ended from the car heading in the same direction which was originally a substantial distance…

While getting on the highway and accelerating, my truck began to shake and lose power. I took it in to the shop afterwards and they had to replace all spark plugs and 1 ignition coil. After researching this, i found out this has been an issue on several 2011 - 2013 model eco boost. Please force a recall, as i do not feel i need to pay for something ford is responsible for. *tr
