| Description of the problem | On freeway when lost acceleration. Indicator on dash said up hill assist not available and after clinking okay it then read service advance trac with the mechanic wrench showing. I'm on the shoulder of freeway, in park, and engine running rough as if on only two cylinders. I went ahead and put it back in drive and there was not throttle and trans would not kick in. Turned key off ready to call tow truck but went ahead and restarted the truck and issue cleared itself so we moved down the road. There is still an underlying issue, as i am told by my ford service writer, the etb needs to be replaced and from what i see online this is not an uncommon issue with the etb and f150. This is a major concern and i was fortunate i was not towing my travel trailer at time which could have had major issue getting to side of freeway safely without power, if not rear ended. Shouldn't there be a recall because of safety? Ford is selling f150 eb as quality tow vehicle although this could get someone hurt or even worse. Don't get me wrong, i am very pleased with the f150 eco boost and its performance but this issue needs to be addressed by ford! And not at customer expense! |
