| Description of the problem | This complaint pertains to the 3. 5 liter ecoboost engine. I was driving on i-95 at approximately 70 mph with the cruise control activated. There were four lanes of traffic at this location. When i attempted to accelerate around a slower vehicle, the engine shuttered and went into limp mode. I had to drive onto the berm, nearly causing a crash. The engine returned to normal after several minutes and i was able to continue my trip from pennsylvania to north carolina. This engine shutter occurred three more times during my return to pa. The last time the service engine light remained activated. The loss of engine power on a busy multiple lane highway is an extreme hazard and could result in a serious vehicle crash. It is time for ford to issue a recall for this known issue. |
