| Description of the problem | 2015 f150 2. 7l ecoboost 31,908 miles... Upon merging into traffic truck suddenly surges, followed by audible bang then abruptly loses all power "no driving conditions out of the ordinary, not under hard acceleration." warning lights on the dash light up and i have no control of vehicle. Luckily i was fortunate to not have much traffic around me at the time and promptly coasted into a deserted parking lot to call my dealership. I am afraid to drive my truck now for fear of causing an accident due to mechanical/electrical failure, i don't want to die and don't want to put anyone it that position either. Dealer replaced the throttle body and says its ok to drive yet the throttle body they used as a replacement is no different then the one that failed how can that be safe? I'd like them to trust a truck that ceased all essential operations (brakes, acceleration, power steering) with a wife and kids in the vehicle during morning rush hour in the fourth largest city in the united states with speeding drivers who don't pay attention to the road in front of them, then we will talk. This is a huge safety concern and a known problem with many other ford vehicles!!! Fix it before someone gets hurt or dies as a result! Do the right thing and hold the manufactures responsible its why we have the nhtsa. How is there not a massive recall with the eco boost engines in regards to the faulty throttle body, anything less is unacceptable. Does someone have to die first? |
