Description of the problem	I was on a highway going 65 mph, the conditions were drizzle/very humid, roughly 90 degrees outside. There was a slow car in front of me so i got in the on coming traffics lane to pass the car, but when i stomped on the gas pedal there was no response. My truck wouldn't accelerate so i pushed it a few more times and still nothing. There was a car coming and i almost got hit head on because of this incident and probably would've been badly injured had i not gotten back in my lane just before the car passed. The engine returned to normal after about 20 seconds and i was able to accelerate and finally get around the car. This is only 1 of the 5 times it has happened in this specific vehicle, its happened to me three times, and twice when i've loaned the truck to my father. It only happens in humid or rainy conditions and i'm guessing has something to do with the intercooler. But i'm not an auto guy so i wouldn't know. I called ford corporate and they said go to the dealer, the dealer didn't see any codes that were thrown during these incidents so they said they could not help me. It was [xxx], and ford needs to step up and help us who have defected ecoboost engines. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
