| Description of the problem | I just read a story and the one on fox news. This exact ecoboost problem happened to me about 1 month ago in my 2013 f-150 king ranch (28k miles). I was driving north on i81 in pa and suddenly my truck went like a bucking bronco, losing power as i went along until i was down to about 30mph on a highway. This lasted for about 10-15 minutes and then miraculously cleared up. I fear the damage it has done to the engine and could be very dangerous if this happens again in heavy traffic on a highway. This has happened one other time as well. All i could assume at the time was a bad tank of gas or some sort of misfire/cylinder problem. Who do i report this to? I am sure ford will just say oh well, it works now.. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
