| Description of the problem | When accelerating from a stop in a right hand turn, the truck lost power and began to sputter and misfire. This is the 4th time this has happened to this f-150 off road 4x4 with ecoboost since i purchased it brand new. After the second time it happened, the check engine light came on so i took it to the dealer. The fix was a deflector plate installed for the twin turbo. They did not replaced the cac (charge air cooler). I was told this would most definitely fix the issue. Clearly, this did not fix the issue since i experienced the same issue yesterday. This is a potentially dangerous situation as i was turning onto very busy m59 in howell. I turned in front of a semi. Thank goodness i had enough room since i had no acceleration after the turn. Had i not given myself enough room and chanced it, the semi may not have been able to slow down in time. This vehicle should be recalled and ford should discontinue making the ecoboost engine until they get it right. |
