 Description of the problemFord f150 2012 ecoboost ext cab 4x4 xlt after driving for several hours and stopping at a rest area i began to reenter the interstate. As i accelerated on the onramp traffic was moderate so i pressed on the accelerator even harder. The truck was in 5th gear and downshifted to 4th. The truck began to shutter and loose power. At this point i panicked and pushed the accelerator even harder. The truck downshifted into 3rd gear at which point it lost all power. All that i could do was let out at this point and hope to regain power. Fortunately traffic had moved over by the time i had made it to the end of the onramp at which point the truck had a clear and definitive miss and very little power. The truck slowly accelerated up to 60 mph and continued to miss for another quarter mile. After arriving at my parents home 5 hours later without another incident of full loss of power i dropped my wife off to get her car. As i pulled out the driveway only minutes later i punched the accelerator to see if the truck would do it again. The truck fell on its face. I could have got out and ran faster. Once again is missed for a quarter mile and cleared up. Today, i had to make a quick trip into town to pick up something for my wife. Again i punched the accelerator and the truck fell on its face and had no power. This time the check engine light came on and has stayed on ever since. Thankfully i have not been involved in an accident as of yet. These trucks need to be recalled before someone is killed!!!
