Description of the problem	I had been driving in hard rain for about 3 hours pulling a 8000lb travel trailer. On a 3 lane interstate i pulled out to pass a slow vehicle in the rh lane. We were going up a slight hill. It started to shake, lost power, and slowed to about 30 mph. I was then in the center lane going too slow for the traffic with trucks passing me blowing their horns on both sides and the road slop from them making it hard to see. I stopped in a rest area and called the ford help line who offered no advice other than to call a local dealer. I am from mi. And this happened in tn. Normally on a hill like this it would have gone to 65mph with no effort. The altitude was about 850', temp 45 deg, no check engine lights or codes, was in the tow haul mode, as i got to the rh side again it started to get better, took about 2 minutes. I was amazed i didn't get rear ended by a truck. It was a really scary situation and my wife is still hesitant about pulling a trailer with it. When i got home i took it to my dealer and they checked a lot of things and did some of the tsb's for this problem and couldn't find anything. They then put a flight recorder on it for about 3 weeks and got no codes. Now all i know is they don't know what is wrong and i'm not sure if it will ever be taken care of. They are very closed mouth about this issue. I'd really like to get some idea if they are working on it or if i'm stuck with it. It's a really nice truck if it doesn't kill us.

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.
