ENGINE
THIS TRUCK HAS THE 3.5 LITER V6 ECOBOOST ENGINE. THE TRUCK IS COMPANY OWNED BY WL HALL CO. I WAS ACCELERATING WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER THEN STARTED TO SHAKE, SHUDDER AND JERK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE STARTED TO RUN VERY ROUGHLY. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AT APPROXIMATELY 9,700 MILES, 28,000 MILES AND 60,000 MILES. FORD HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE ISSUE THREE TIMES. THE TRUCK WILL BE GOING IN FOR SERVICE FOR THIS ISSUE A FOURTH TIME. DUE TO IMPROPER PERFORMANCE, THIS ISSUE ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT THIS LAST TIME. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN NUMEROUS INCIDENTS OVER THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE WHERE IT DID NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND DROPPED POWER, BUT THEN THE VEHICLE CORRECTED ITSELF. *TR
