| Description of the problem | Vehicle engine stalled driving at highway speed (70 mph). Engine went into safe mode. Similar problem occurred in the past (01/04/2013). Repair was performed under tsb 13-8-1 and previously under tsb12-10-19 (incident 01/04/2013). Corrective action both times was to install air deflector plate and replace catalytic converter for both occurrences. Ford says the problem only occurs on the 6 cylinder ecoboost engine after driving extended distances at prolonged highway speed. If i had been towing my rv trailer at either time, a serious accident could have occurred. My issue is that two tsb's have been issued by ford for the same problem and the required fixes are identical but not sure if the vehicle is safe to drive anymore. I suggest ford issue a recall for all ecoboost powered vehicles. |
