NHTSA Complaint #10499487 — 2012 FORD F-150

I PULLED OUT TO PASS A SLOWER VEHICLE ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY IN A PASSING ZONE AS ACCELERATING MY F150 LOSS POWER AND BEGAN SHAKING. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL BACK INTO MY LANE BEFORE THE ONCOMING CAR HIT ME HEAD ON. MY F150 CONTINUED TO SHAKE A LOSE POWER, AFTER A FEW MOMENTS OF THIS IT REGAINED POWER AND THE SHAKING HALTED. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS REMAINED ON SINCE THIS.I TOOK THE TRUCK IN TO MY DEALER TO CHECK THIS OUT AND WAS TOLD IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE INTERCOOLER AND THEY WOULD ORDER PARTS TO REPAIR. AS OF TODAY (FEB, 20TH 2013) I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH FORD CUSTOMER CARE AND WAS INFORMED THE SUPPOSED PARTS ARE ON A BACK ORDER. THE LOSS OF POWER AND SHAKING HAS HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES SINCE, ALSO MY REMOTE START DOES NOT WORK DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON. MY FUEL MILEAGE HAS DROPPED FROM 18.7 TO 14 MPG. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, AS YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO LOSE POWER. *TR
