Description of the problem	When you press the throttle pedal to pass the vehicle has a slight acceleration and then shakes, shudders and will not accelerate. I need to coast for several hundred yards before the system recovers and the truck accelerates. This happens all summer long pretty much every time i need to pass. My ford dealer says they have applied the service bulletins but that does not correct the problem. In your investigation of this matter it is stated that ford says you can still accelerate i can tell you that is absolutely not true with my truck. I should note that most of the time i am pulling an 18' fishing boat that weights about 3000 lbs. On at least six different occasions now while on vacation i have been in a long string of traffic behind either motor homes or logging trucks that could not go highway speed, i pull out to pass them step on the gas, it shakes, shudders and there i sit in the oncoming traffic lane, meanwhile the string of vehicles behind me have closed the gap, i cannot pull back into the right lane and i cannot accelerate to get in front of them. I end up just slowly moving back to the right hoping the other vehicles will back off and move out of the way, then comes the blasting of their horns and shaking of their fists when they eventually pass me. I cannot imagine how this is not considered a safety issue. Ford specifically markets this ecoboost engine based on it's torque for towing to people that need a truck for towing but you cannot use any of that torque all summer long and i am pulling a boat that is only at one third of the towing capacity.
