| Description of the problem | Vehicle since brand new has a stuttering/stalling issue at 55mph and the dew point is high. Attempting to pass a vehicle accelerating from 55mph and the truck either stutters or stalls. This almost caused a head-on collision. I am scared to pull out in traffic or pass anyone due to the inherent issue. Ford did replace a intercooler/cac following tsb 12-10-19. This has not fixed the problem. We. I returned the truck still broke. The service manager at the dealership told me he has the same truck and that it is an inherent engine problem ford has acknowledged but they could not do anything for me. I am worried everyday i might die driving my truck and even more upset that i pay monthly for something that is broke. |
