Description of the problem	2012 f150 ecoboost. Was cruising on the highway at 60-65 closing in on a slower moving bus. Pulled out to pass and gave it more throttle the vehicle did not accelerate even with throttle to the floor. Had to hit the brakes and pull back behind the bus to avoid a collision. After recovering the motor seemed to recover and allowed for acceleration again. This was the second time this has happened to us. Neither time did the computer register a fault code or check engine light. The first time we took it for the issue, ford service could not do anything as no code was found and unable to recreate in test drive. At that time tsb 12-6-4 was out pertaining to this issue. After the second time,again there was no code or recreation but a new tsb 12-10-19 superseded the previous tsb and allowed for repairs. This is a dangerous condition that ford is aware of and could possibly affect all 2011-2012 f150 ecoboost motors and some early 2013 models. The charge air cooler as originally designed is creating condensation that causes these power loss events. The corrective actions in tsb 12-10-19, if successful, should be applied to all f150 ecoboost vehicles built with the older intercooler design.
