Description of the problem	Firstly, while driving along a 3 mile straight stretch of road i pull out to pass a slower vehicle. My truck engine shut down in to what ford describes as "limp home mode" mid-pass and i had to decelerate quickly and get back in to my lane before a head on collision occurred. There were vehicles in the lane that i had to cutoff to get to safety. I had to pull over to the side of the road and shut off the vehicle then re-start it before the condition cleared up. This same scenario happened again in september of 2012. This time i was driving along with my cruise control set to 62 mph when for no reason the vehicle went in to "limp home mode" again. I had to pull over once again and stop/start the engine. I was in a fair amount of traffic when this occurred and it could have resulted in a dangerous situation had there not been a convenient pullout in the area. I took the vehicle to a ford dealership for service and was told they could not find anything wrong. Secondly, the engine make a popping sound while i accelerate from a stop (again the dealership can find nothing) thirdly, the four-wheel drive system randomly cycles some unknown solenoid during use which the dealer cannot reproduce. This is a brand new ecoboost engine, which i love but which i feel is very unsafe and i can get no resolution from ford.
