 Description of the problemI've had problems since the first month of purchase, first time it stalled pulling out of a stop sign with my kids in the truck, scared us to death. Second time, my wife and i were on the interstate going on vacation driving at night in a steady rain, truck begin to shudder and stalled out, had to pull over about 5 times during a 5 hour trip and sit until it would crank and run again. When i returned i took into ford, they couldn't find any problems, truck kept doing the same in a rain so i took back to dealer and after the third or fourth time they said there is a defect and ford has a new part coming out in october of 2012, ended up getting the part installed in december 2012. Truck is doing the same thing, just stalled on me in branson, missouri, i called dealer and corporate ford and get nowhere. I have a complaint file number with ford corporate on this problem but no will help me or offer me a new truck without ecoboost. Very frustrating to buy a brand new $57k truck and find out it does not run well in the rain and ford new of this problem when they sold it to me in april 2012. Now i find out there is a class action suit started in louisiana and ohio for the eco boost trucks. Dont really want to go this route but ford and autonation-cook whitehead ford dealer has given me no choice. We need to all publicly let our dealers know by being on the news or other means so ford will stop selling these vehicles. Its not right to treat us this way.
