NHTSA Complaint #10512221 — 2012 FORD F-150

LOSS OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, MORE FREQUENTLY AS TIME GOES ON, AND WHEN TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. WHEN FIRST BOUGHT VEHICLE, THERE WAS A SHUDDER AND A SHAKE EXTREMELY NOTICEABLE AT 45 MPH. THE TRUCK WAS BROUGHT INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND CHECKED FOR A DEFLECTOR PLATE. THE DEFLECTOR PLATE WAS INSTALLED, SO A NEW INTERCOOLER WAS ORDERED AND A LONG WAIT WITH THIS TROUBLESOME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE NEW INTERCOOLER ARRIVED AND WAS PUT IN, BUT THE SAME PROBLEMS PERSIST. THE SHUDDER AND SHAKE IS NOW MORE NOTICEABLE AT 35MPH BUT IS STILL THERE AND NOTICEABLE AS EVER. THE FORD DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT FORD HAS A NEW SERVICE BULLETIN OUT, BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A FIX. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE, AND I HOPE THAT WITH ALL THE DRIVING I DO, I DON'T GET A LOSS OF POWER WHEN I NEED IT RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLE FATALITY. *TR
