| WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PASS A SEMI TRUCK AFTER DRIVING A CONSTANT SPEED OF 65 IN ARIZONAS HUMID MONSOON SEASON, UNDER HARD ACCELERATION MY F150 HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER ALONG WITH A VERY STRANGE SHUDDER AND LOUD REVVING SOUND. AFTER I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND PULLED BEHIND THE SEMI I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PASS (DUE TO ON COMING TRAFFIC), THE TRUCK RAN NORMAL. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THE CONDITIONS WERE DIFFERENT THE DAY OF TEST DRIVE AND THE TRUCK WAS NOT DRIVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR NEARLY AS LONG. THIS COULD BE A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY. *TR | |
