Description of the problem	This is in reference to a loss of power while passing in rainy conditions in my 2012 f-150 crew cab 4x4 3. 5 v-6 eco boost. After driving at slow speeds (25-35mph) and fairly constant throttle on a 2 lane highway for approximately 30 miles, i attempted to pass a vehicle starting at 50 mph. As soon as i was on boost i experienced a significant loss of power forcing me to take violent evasive maneuvers including full braking and hitting the shoulder, to barely avoid a head-on collision with an oncoming vehicle. As the bed was empty i assumed that i spun the tires on the very wet highway and hit a rev-limiter as it felt like i lost several cylinders. Once it returned to 6th gear and about 1500 rpm the engine ran normally. Subsequently i have rolled on the throttle slowly when requiring full power in wet conditions. After reading about the other similar issues i realized that i had experienced a problem with the turbocharging system. With this in mind i now regularly go to boost where i don't need the power to remove the condensation from the intercooler when conditions are wet.
