Reported on May 23, 2013
| WHILE ON I95 IN VIRGINIA, AFTER TRAVELING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON IN AN INTERMITTENT RAIN, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE AND BUCK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. ANY ATTEMPT TO DO SO CAUSED THE TRUCK TO JERK AND SHAKE. AS I MOVED TO THE RIGHT LANE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER, THE LIGHT STOPPED FLASHING AND THE TRUCK BEHAVED NORMALLY. I COULD NOT REPLICATE THE INCIDENT SINCE I DID NOT DRIVE AT A CONSTANT SPEED AGAIN FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME REMAINING IN THE TRIP. THIS OCCURRED IN A 2013 FORD F150 XLT SUPERCREW WITH A 3.5L ECO BOOST ENGINE. *TR | |
