Description of the problem	My 2012 ford f150 xlt supercrew ecoboost has about 85000 miles and abruptly went from about 30-40mph to about 0mph a few times now while driving. Once time was very scary on a congested road. After this happened, its like my transmission misfires and misses gears all of the time. There is now a vacuum noise also coming out if the engine and it doesn't run right. I brought it to ford and they told me that i probably wasn't changing the oil properly (i had changed my oil every 3000-5000 miles regularly.), but now they said i messed up the timing chain and phasers and they had to be changed for a price of about 4000 dollars. I have owned other fords not ecoboosts and they all ran fine. I started doing some research and i am sure this is an engineering flaw on the part of ford. I actually read that the nhtsa did research on this topic. There are tons of forums that have the information on them and believe that ford should do the right thing and do a recall or fix the problem. I know its a big problem. I don't think it is fair to the american consumer to have to shell out that kind of money on a bad design flaw on apart of ford that almost got me into an accident bad one time and when my kids and i have to go to an erupt stop. I don't tow anything and drive the truck like a car. This shouldn't be happening.

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.
