Description of the problem	While traveling in rain on the highway - outside temp 40 deg f / dewpoint 40 (this is relevant - this issue occurs whenever temp & dew point are within 10 of each other for many others) at 65mph - i attempted to pass a slower moving vehicle. After my lane change, i attempted to accelerate & the vehicle downshifted & revved high for a second and then ilost 90% of my engines power, the vehicle began to shudder & shake and a check engine light (cel) began to blink on my dash. I was nearly hit be 2 fast moving semi trucks as i tried to cross 3 lanes of traffic to get to the berm with 0 ability to accelerate any further. Stopping & starting the engine made the issue go away. A similar even occurred this morning as well but cleared itself after i let off of the gas. I have heard numerous reports of this issue on different f-150 forums. The issue is apparently too much condensation in the ecoboost engines twin turbo intercooler (hence the temp/dew point correlation). Ford has been attempting to resolve this for 3 years now - and just released a new tsb 12-10-19 which i hope will resolve it. I have had the vehicle for 14 days - and it should not have been sold to me with this known dangerous failure possibility being present. The tsb is being applied to my vehicle tomorrow & i hope it works. Numerous others have had different attempts at repair & none have made the issue permanently go away. This is a major safety concern.
