| Description of the problem | Re: 2015 f250 sold to [xxx] vin #[xxx] a few months after purchasing a new 2015 f250 diesel, i began to experience something wrong. When traveling at a constant speed, the engine began to knock loudly and the entire truck began to vibrate. After taking my foot off the gas pedal and coasting for a short period (there is no power to accelerate during this time), the truck seemed to function normal again. There were no warning lights or messages on the dash. The problem is getting worse and more frequent; lasting longer and loss of ability to accelerate interrupts flow of traffic behind me. I held up traffic going up ms river bridge, and this past incident lasted for a 15 mile stretch. It is extremely unsafe.......
