POWER TRAIN
WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC ON THE EXPRESSWAY TODAY IN MIAMI, AT ABOUT 35 MPH, I HAD TO ACCELERATE TO GET OUT OF THE MERGING LANE, AT WHICH TIME (FOR THE THIRD TIME SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN 2011) THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE (A 3.5L ECOBOOST) AND BEGAN TO SPUTTER, SHAKE, AND DECELERATE. LUCKILY FOR MYSELF AND THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD I DID LEAVE A SUFFICIENT GAP BETWEEN MYSELF AND THE CAR TO MY REAR TO GIVE THAT VEHICLE TIME TO REACT TO WHAT EQUATES TO A VEHICLE PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF HIM/HER AND GENTLY PRESSING THE BRAKES WITHOUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS ENGAGING. MY TRUCK HOVERED BETWEEN 25 AND 30 MPH FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS WITH IT DOING THE SPUTTERING AND SLOWING THING EACH TIME I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE DURING THAT TIME PERIOD. AFTER PRETTY MUCH COASTING FOR 30 OR SO SECONDS, THE TRUCK SPRANG BACK TO LIFE AND DROVE AS ADVERTISED. FROM WHAT I'VE READ, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND I (AS WELL AS OTHERS) BELIEVE FORD SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DEFECT. I'M NOT LOOKING FOR A NEW TRUCK, I'D JUST LIKE THE PROBLEM FIXED. EVEN THOUGH NO DEATHS OR INJURIES HAVE BEEN REPORTED DUE TO THIS "YET", YOU CAN SEE THE DANGER OF HAVING YOUR ENGINE LOOSE POWER WHEN YOU NEED IT THE MOST. UNFORTUNATELY FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS, ALL FORD SEEMS TO BE CONCERNED WITH IS THE LOSS OF A BUCK......NOT THE LOSS OF A LIFE!!!
