| Description of the problem | I was driving at 48-50- mph when i decided to pass a cement truck that was going below the speed limit. As i pulled out to pass the truck everything seemed fine. When i got alongside the cement truck my truck started to hesitate and misfire. The engine light started flashing. I was stuck from going back as another car was behind me,also trying to pass the slow truck. I barely made it past the cement truck as an oncoming vehicle had to swerve into the shoulder to miss me and the vehicle behind me. When i returned home i looked up ecoboost problems on the internet and found numerous other people with the same problem. Thankfully no one was injured or killed today, i believe the it will only be a matter of time before there is a fatality if there hasn't been one already. |
