| Description of the problem | In heavy rain conditions after driving for 2 hours in the pacific northwest on the i-5 the truck ecoboost turbo stalled and lost power during a passing situation of a large 18 wheeler. I was driving at 60 mph, and attempted a pass, but was unable to pass due to power loss, shudder, and limp mode. Intermittent check engine light and partial limp mode occurred. This is the known stall/shudder issue that multiple ecoboost motors on f150s are experiencing in rainy damp conditions. Severe safety issue if you are trying to pass on a two lane highway and you lose power while trying to pass a logging truck and someone follows you and you get only half way. This is the second incident i have had with this truck. Dealer did a tsb that involved reprogramming the pcm and removing a deflector shield. This fix seems like a band aid, and ford should be doing a complete redesign of the turbo cooler intake. |
