Description of the problem	After purchasing this 2012 f150 w/ecoboost v-6, i wanted to see how good of gas mileage i could get out of it. I also wanted to break the vehicle in before any hard accelerations. When starting from a complete stop, i would gradually make it up to highway speeds. I treated the vehicle gingerly until i wanted to test the capabilities of this ecoboost engine i had heard so much about. It was a cold january evening and there was no unusual weather (no rain or snow). I had been cruising at constant highway speeds for approximately an hour. The road had narrowed from a 4 lane highway to a 2 lane. I was stuck behind a vehicle traveling just above 50 mph. I reached a passing zone and decided to test the performance of the engine/truck. I depressed the accelerator to the floor and the engine spit and sputtered. I decided to ease off immediately for our safety. No lights on the dash illuminated as result of this engine problem. After this incident, i have noticed that at cruising speeds, there seems to be an engine miss around 60 mph while going up a slight grade. I have also noticed that when starting the vehicle, it (engine) does not start as quickly. The key has to be held longer. These problems are a direct result of the damage caused to the engine after the very first hard acceleration.
