| Description of the problem | I was driving to work entering the freeway doing 55 i tried to accelerate the vehicle past a slower moving car and the vehicle began to shake violently and the truck lost power. Had i been in heavy traffic this would have certainly caused a serious collision as i was unable to control the vehicle and had to slow down to 30 mph on the freeway before i could slowly accelerate back up to speed. This has occurred multiple times since october especially after rain or even in the mornings when it has been a heavy frost overnight. Also my m. P. G is down to 11 to 13 m. P. G this is horrible especially this day and age in vehicle technology. I have brought my truck to the local dealer and of course they stated they were unaware of a problem. I had to show them multiple complaints from this website and off the ford 150 forum. It has been 6 weeks and the part still is not in for my vehicle. |
