Description of the problem	We had the scare of our lives along with our passengers. While i was driving my 2012 f150 on a trip back from charleston, wv to ohio on interstate 77. The truck had a major problem. We were traveling about 75 miles an hour and i accelerated to pass slower traffic in the right lane. As i entered the passing lane the truck lost power. Luckily, i'm an excellent driver and was able to quickly move back to the right lane before a large suv rear ended us. I then tried to accelerate since our speed had dropped to about 50 mph. The truck shook violently until i let off of the gas. The ac turned off when i tried to accelerate again to get up to the legal speed of 70 mph. The truck again shook violently. After about two miles the f150 started to act some what normal again. We did not experience any other problems in the remaining 150 miles of our trip. For the most part, the trip to charleston, wv from ohio was wet. The trip back was mostly dry with temps in the low 80's and humid. I don't know what damage this caused to our truck. I'm very upset with these and our 2013 escape problems. The truck is parked for now, to dangerous the drive in wet/humid conditions. This problem needs to be taken care of immediately. This is an accident ready to happen.
