Description of the problem	I was with my family on the way to church. I was making a right turn out of our neighborhood onto the highway when all of the sudden there was a complete loss in power and was unable to resume acceleration. The highway also has a moderate incline in slope which caused the vehicle to slow dramatically. We were almost rear-ended from the car heading in the same direction which was originally a substantial distance away. Luckily the car that was approaching from behind was able to slow down fast enough considering we had a 1 year and 4 year old son in the back seat. I called the local dealership and the earliest appointment they could offer to check the problem was on wednesday 10/10/2014. This is over 3 days after the incident occurred. The truck only has 40,000 miles on it so i began researching this issue. I discovered that there are more than a substantial amount of complaints and it seems ford is aware of the issue and is even attempting to modify the air induction system and re flash the pcm. With issues like the millions of vehicles being recalled for airbags that have led to serious injury or death, far beyond the manufacture originally becoming aware of the issues. How long is the issue regarding the 2011-2013 ford f150 ecoboost going to remain shoved under the rug? How many lives have to be lost before ford takes accountability for putting the public at risk. In their report to this specific issue (on the nhtsa website), it is more than obvious they have identified a defect in the 2012 ford f150 and the ecoboost engines within the trucks. Can you help me understand how and why they are not being held accountable for risking the lives of many people. Also, why is the nhtsa allowing ford to shrug this off and close this investigation? There is a clear defect present that has the potential of leading to loss of life. Is this not pure negligence?

A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
