FORD F150 2012 ECOBOOST EXT CAB 4X4 XLT AFTER DRIVING FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND STOPPING AT A REST AREA I BEGAN TO REENTER THE INTERSTATE. AS I ACCELERATED ON THE ONRAMP TRAFFIC WAS MODERATE SO I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR EVEN HARDER. THE TRUCK WAS IN 5TH GEAR AND DOWNSHIFTED TO 4TH. THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHUTTER AND LOOSE POWER. AT THIS POINT I PANICKED AND PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR EVEN HARDER. THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED INTO 3RD GEAR AT WHICH POINT IT LOST ALL POWER. ALL THAT I COULD DO WAS LET OUT AT THIS POINT AND HOPE TO REGAIN POWER. FORTUNATELY TRAFFIC HAD MOVED OVER BY THE TIME I HAD MADE IT TO THE END OF THE ONRAMP AT WHICH POINT THE TRUCK HAD A CLEAR AND DEFINITIVE MISS AND VERY LITTLE POWER. THE TRUCK SLOWLY ACCELERATED UP TO 60 MPH AND CONTINUED TO MISS FOR ANOTHER QUARTER MILE. AFTER ARRIVING AT MY PARENTS HOME 5 HOURS LATER WITHOUT ANOTHER INCIDENT OF FULL LOSS OF POWER I DROPPED MY WIFE OFF TO GET HER CAR. AS I PULLED OUT THE DRIVEWAY ONLY MINUTES LATER I PUNCHED THE ACCELERATOR TO SEE IF THE TRUCK WOULD DO IT AGAIN. THE TRUCK FELL ON ITS FACE. I COULD HAVE GOT OUT AND RAN FASTER. ONCE AGAIN IS MISSED FOR A QUARTER MILE AND CLEARED UP. TODAY, I HAD TO MAKE A QUICK TRIP INTO TOWN TO PICK UP SOMETHING FOR MY WIFE. AGAIN I PUNCHED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE TRUCK FELL ON ITS FACE AND HAD NO POWER. THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS STAYED ON EVER SINCE. THANKFULLY I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AS OF YET. THESE TRUCKS NEED TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!!! *TR
