| Description of the problem | Turned right and started to accelerate, when i got up to about 45-50 mph and the ecoboost went to kick in, truck dramatically jerked forward and then the whole truck started to shutter and shake until the vehicle slowed to a point where the ecoboost transitioned off. Has happened several times but this time my wife experienced it too and we feel it may be a safety issue should it happen while driving in traffic or on a freeway. We should be able to drive the truck at 50+ mph without having to slow down to fix the problem. |
