| Description of the problem | My 2012 truck has the 3. 5l eco-boost engine and it has shut itself down (gone into limp mode) at least 12 times. This morning (4-17-14) it just happened three times within a 45 min window. The temp outside was 50 degrees f and not raining. Normally this vehicle goes into limp mode during a turn or after a stop, but it has also happened at normal driving speeds (45-50mph). This is a new vehicle and i am no longer comfortable driving this vehicle due to safety concerns. This issue has almost create three separate accidents. |
