Description of the problem	I was traveling on a 4-lane, 65mph highway when i floored the gas pedal. The truck failed to accelerate as it should have. Instead, it acted as if it was coasting. There was no power for several seconds even when i moved the gas pedal to different positions. When the truck finally seemed to resume power, it started to shake violently. The shocked passenger and i looked at each other, then i checked to see if there were parts strewn on the road behind me. Suddenly, it smoothed out and there were no more issues on that trip. I had been driving that truck for about 10 hours with various forms of precipitation at the time. This was december 21, 2013. The second incident was on december 28, 2013. Weather conditions were sunny and dry. I had been driving about 50 minutes. I floored the gas pedal again to overtake a vehicle and was barely able to overtake due to no power. Again, i worked the throttle to no avail. The truck finally recovered but started shaking violently again. As before, it smoothed out. I took my truck to a local ford dealership where they told me it was showing no codes and that their techs could not reproduce the symptoms i had mentioned. I checked on nhtsa website and found this issue is under investigation. I do not agree with the service bulletins. My theory is that there is a computer programming problem specific to this direct-injection, turbo gasoline engine. I plan on trading for something other than an ecoboost engine, as this problem is dangerous.
