NHTSA Complaint #10519496 — 2012 FORD F-150

WAS PASSING A LARGE TRUCK TOWING A MOBILE HOME UP A STEEP INCLINE, IT WAS RAINY AND WINDY AND I WAS TRAVELING AT 60 MPH. MID WAY THROUGH THE PASS, MY TRUCK SUDDENLY DROPPED POWER ABOUT 15 MILES DOWN TO 45 MPH, I ALMOST THOUGHT THE ENGINE STALLED, AND THEN, AS I TRIED TO FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL, IT STARTED TO SHUDDER AND I JUST MANAGED TO MAKE THE PASS AS I CAME OVER THE HILL. THE SHUDDERING CONTINUED FOR ABOUT A MINUTE, AND AFTER TRAVELING DOWNHILL AND COASTING A BIT, THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY AND THERE WERE NO MORE INCIDENTS FOR THE REST OF THE 15 MILES I DROVE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, BUT I WILL REPORT THAT AT ONE POINT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR ABOUT 8 DAYS 3 MONTHS PRIOR, AND WENT AWAY ON ITS OWN BEFORE I HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO BRING IT TO A GARAGE, I HAD THOUGHT MAYBE I HAD JUST HAD A BAD BATCH OF GAS. *TR
