Description of the problem	I wanted to make your office aware and seek any assistance you may be able to offer regarding a safety issue with the ford ecoboost engine found in many trucks in our state. Recently i was driving on a two lane road and ended up behind a slow moving tractor trailer. When getting to a proper passing zone, i accelerated to pass the vehicle. Just about the time i was alongside it, my truck (a 2013 f150 ecoboos with about 78k miles) started shuddering, a check engine light came on and it drastically reduced power almost causing an accident when another vehicle was approaching from the other direction (this took several seconds - the passing zone was entirely clear when i started the maneuver). I took my vehicle to a local dealer for repairs only to find out that it was from a manufacturer defect affecting condensation in the cooling unit of the turbos. Ford had issued a technical service bulletin (tsb-14-0017) regarding the issue but no recalls made nor any customer notifications sent out. I have notified ford and requested 1) they reimburse the cost of repairs; 2) issue an immediate recall for this major safety defect; and 3) immediately notify owners of their product as to the possible safety hazard that could occur when putting the engine under a heavy rpm load. Additionally, i am asking if your office can follow up with this request to ensure that someone doesn't encounter the same bad situation or worse. This was a potential fatality situation that could have been avoided. Thanks [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
