Description of the problem	I have a 2012 ford f 150 with 66,800 miles on it and have changed one of the turbos . About may of 2017 i noticed a shutter and shaking of the engine, then lose of power, failure to accelerate on hills, the vehicle would down shift for no reason or you had to put the gas peddle to the floor to even move then it would kick in and cause the wheels to spin. I took the vehicle to my local ford dealer to diagnose the check engine light. I was told that one of the turbos needed replaced at a cost of $1800, well i had it replaced at my own personnel garage and after driving the vehicle 5 miles it had all the same issues. I called the ford hot line 3 times asking what they will do to fix my truck, i was told the warranty ran out at 60000 miles, i explained the vehicle just started doing this and i did not haul anything and only drove it about 12000 miles a year, this should not be happening. This is very dangerous trying to drive a vehicle that losses power then accelerate without warning. Ford told me there were some recalls on the 3. 5 l eco-boost engine but not on my truck. I have been a ford man for over 40 years, i bought this truck brand new in 2012 and ford will not do anything but charge me more money, i do not beat my truck i baby it, i take very good care of my vehicles, this is not my fault it is poor engine designee and ford should fix this for me because as i said it is a safety hazard for me and anyone else on the road with this engine.

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.

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