Description of the problem	I purchased a new 2012 ford f150 platinum 4x4 ecoboost truck in june 2012. Around 2014, i experienced a complete loss of power and major shaking or shuddering when i went to pass a vehicle in the highway. I thought it was a misfire issue and called the ford dealer i purchased it from. They asked at the time if it was consistent and i said it was not. They advised that i should just keep an eye on this and that i had an extended warranty. I was told to bring it in if it continued. I have also done a good number of all maintenance related check ups and services with the ford dealership i bought the vehicle from. It happened a few more times over a 1 year period. I changed the spark plugs as i thought it was a misfire but it continues to happen. The last episode nearly resulted in a collision. I took my vehicle to a ford dealership near my home and they tested it. Computer reading says it is a p04300 - bad inner cooler. Fix is $1700 per dealer (new inner cooler, new catalytic converter, new boots, new plugs and adding a shield) but that since i am now at 88k, emission warranty ended at 80k and i have no financial support from ford. I advised i was never told about an emissions warranty and that this is not my driving or mileage issue and that ford acknowledges this is a design flaw in the charge air cooler and had a redesign. This is a major safety issue and if ford recognizes this as their design flaw and is now happening to my ford vehicle, i need them to help accept this as a warrantable item and accept the repair from the dealership. Please assist. Kindest regards.

What is Recall?
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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
