NHTSA Complaint #10482565 — 2012 FORD F-150

2012 FORD F150 WITH ECOBOOST MILEAGE 2,500 - DRIVING FOR APPROX. 2HRS ON HIGHWAY - RAINING OFF/ON THROUGHOUT DRIVE - WHEN ACCELERATING TO PASS A VEHICLE GOING UPHILL THE F150 LOST POWER AND BOGGED DOWN - STUTTERING ALONG - HAD TO QUICKLY PULL OVER TO SLOW LANE - TO AVOID POSSIBLE ACCIDENT WITH TRAFFIC THAT WAS APPROACHING IN FAST LANE. THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO STUTTER ALONG AT VARIOUS TIMES AFTER THE 3 HR TRIP. NO PROBLEMS SINCE BUT TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN USED MUCH (3,600 MILES NOW). SAW ON OTHER FORUMS AND THIS SITE THAT OTHER F150'S WITH ECOBOOST ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER - THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE ECOBOOST. I SHOWED THEM THE PRINTOUT FROM THIS SITE HIGHLIGHTING THE TSB 12-6-4, WHICH THEY ARE GOING TO DO. MY FATHER PURCHASED THE SAME TRUCK AND HE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO HIM THIS SEPTEMBER. HOPE THIS WORKS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. *TR
