Ford F-150 Engine Safety Report | Apr 19, 2013
Reported on Apr 19, 2013
| 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). *TR | |
