Consumer Description

WHILE TRAVELING TO FLORIDA FROM TENNESSEE WE HAD STOPPED AT A GAS STATION. WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND ACCELERATING, THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY DUE TO MISFIRE INDICATED BY FLASHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE MISS WAS SO BAD THAT I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO PULL OVER. I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF TO CLEAR THE ON BOARD COMPUTER. THE TRUCK RAN FINE AFTERWARD, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. THIS WAS A BIT SCARY AS WE COULD HAVE BEEN HIT DUE TO THE RAPID LOSS OF POWER WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE VERY RAINY. WE HAD DRIVEN THRU RAIN FOR ~7 HOURS OFF AND ON. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT FORD HAS YET TO FIX WITH CONDENSATION IN THE TURBO'S INTAKE ON THE V6 ECOBOOST ENGINES. I AM HEADED TO THE DEALER WHEN I GET BACK IN TOWN. *TR
