| Description of the problem | Multiple occasions go to step on the gas and the truck just doesn't accelerate, feels like a misfire or almost about to stall, this usually happens when at a complete stop at a light and light turns green, has also happened when rolling in traffic or trying to get onto highway at the on ramp. Another time driving on highway, stepped on gas and truck lurched forward as if someone hit me from behind and rpm kept accelerating even though i was not stepping on the gas. Have brought this to dealer and they claim they can't find anything wrong. I believe these are particularly dangerous because i'm expecting the truck to move so i can go along with flow of traffic and it just hangs on me putting me in a bad situation or it launches forward making me momentarily jerk the wheel and lose control. Possible known issue? (http://www. Usatoday. Com/story/money/cars/2013/05/28/ford-f150-ecoboost-government-probe/2367197/) thanks |
