| Description of the problem | While driving my ford ecoboost f-150 on i-40 on the way to work this morning i had a severe loss of power while merging onto the highway. I had to take evasive action to miss other traffic due to the sudden loss of power and others had to avoid me as well. This was a very dangerous and scary situation. I am taking my truck to the dealership for them to look at the problem. Conditions were damp and cold this morning while i was driving. I think this may be related to the wet / damp conditions that affect the ecoboost engines losing power. |
