| Description of the problem | Had the engine studded and drop a cylinder,this is an ecoboost motor,the check engine light started to flash while running rough. It happened as i was passing a tractor trailer on the highway,as i got around him another trailer was coming on behind me,this is when it dropped a cylinder,the trailer almost ran over me. This is a problem with this truck i found out once i did some research,ford needs to do something about this before someone gets hurt or killed. I called the dealer the first time this happened,as far as the studded and he said bad gas keep driving it(59,500 mls). It happened again at 61,381,took to dealer and they did a tsb 14-0017 reprogram,this worked for about a week then it happened again,took it to the dealer 61850mls,they couldn't get it to do it,i picked it up and 20 miles later it did it again,i got it on video this time so theres no questions, seems as though they know about it but are blowing it off, let me get outside warranty then take a look at it. Let me tell you if it happens again, and my family gets hurt i will own ford !!!! Thanks for you time. |
