Description of the problem	Ford f150 crew cab - lariat - v6 ecoboost engine. Problem occurs when not towing, not engaged in 4x4 mode and occurs randomly in wet, damp and dry conditions. Driving at highway speeds (60) on a 70 mph highway, tried to accelerate to pass semi truck and truck shuddered and would not accelerate at all. Speed dropped dramatically and we were almost hit from behind. Only method of getting truck moving was to stop on the side of the highway and let the truck sit, turned off for 2 - 3 minutes. It took 5 or 6 of these stops to get to the nearest ford dealership, where a tsb was referred to and it was suggested by the dealership that we continue on our vacation and stop in tallahassee to have a larger dealership take a look. The tallahassee crew updated the computer and provided a report for bill currie ford in tampa, to install a shield of some sort once we returned, as they did not have the part in stock. Bill currie service reported that the shield was already in place when reported a few days later. The truck was taken to bill currie ford a total of 5 times for the same problem with the final time to have a ford tech do the work. The problem persists. Overall the truck is less than it was advertised. I got 18. 7mpg with my previous 6. 2l f150 and i have yet to get more than 17. 8 on the ecoboost. Around town i also get much lower mileage (11. 7mpg as opposed to 14. 9 with the 6. 2l engine. The shudder/loss of power occurs randomly and has resulted in near crashes at least 5 times in the months since we purchased the truck, all at highway speeds.
