| Description of the problem | While running approximately 45 mph i accelerated hard to make a pass and the truck just lost all power. It started sputtering and i fell back into line. The check engine light came on and it continued to run rough so i pulled off the road. As i did this it "caught up" and started running smooth again and the check engine light went off. Later in the day i tried it again and it started to do the same thing so i quickly let off. Both of these times it was raining. Later after the rain stopped i tried it again with no problem. It only happened when it rains. I took it to the ford dealership and they told me there was a fix but my truck was made before included date. Don't know that date. Told me also that no code was registered on the computer even though the check engine light came on. Truck battery keeps going dead too and it has now been in the dealership for 8 days straight and i still don't have any answers. Truck has been in shop 10 days in past month. |
