| Description of the problem | I was driving to virginia beach, va from beaufort sc on interstate 95. I was pouring rain, night, and lots vehicles (around). I had driven about 200 miles in the rain when it occurred. I was in the process of trying to pass a truck in the passing lane when the truck just started shaking and felt like it was slowing down. I let off the accelerator and the shaking stopped. Then proceeded to try it again and the same thing happened again started shaking and losing power again. I then found a rest stop to rest and think about what just happened. While leaving the rest stop accelerating up to speed it happened again. I finished my trip to virginia beach, va driving below the speed limit. Note: was using regular at the time of incident. To date: i have not driven the vehicle in heavy rain or the vehicle has not been to ford for service, and currently has 4,500 miles. I have not had shaking since event back on nov 23, but i have noticed on damp days the vehicle seems not to accelerate properly, feels like it hesitates and then will surge like it just received a boost of fuel. Currently driving with premium gas. |
