NHTSA Complaint #10486724 — 2012 FORD F-150

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ENTERING THE FREEWAY DOING 55 I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE PAST A SLOWER MOVING CAR AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THE TRUCK LOST POWER. HAD I BEEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THIS WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY CAUSED A SERIOUS COLLISION AS I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 30 MPH ON THE FREEWAY BEFORE I COULD SLOWLY ACCELERATE BACK UP TO SPEED. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE OCTOBER ESPECIALLY AFTER RAIN OR EVEN IN THE MORNINGS WHEN IT HAS BEEN A HEAVY FROST OVERNIGHT. ALSO MY M.P.G IS DOWN TO 11 TO 13 M.P.G THIS IS HORRIBLE ESPECIALLY THIS DAY AND AGE IN VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY. I HAVE BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND OF COURSE THEY STATED THEY WERE UNAWARE OF A PROBLEM. I HAD TO SHOW THEM MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM THIS WEBSITE AND OFF THE FORD 150 FORUM. IT HAS BEEN 6 WEEKS AND THE PART STILL IS NOT IN FOR MY VEHICLE. *TR
