NHTSA Complaint #10524324 — 2012 FORD F-150

SINCE I PURCHASED MY TRUCK THERE HAS BEEN SEVEN DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHERE I HAVE ACCELERATED TO ENTER AN INTERSTATE OR PASS A VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK IN AND THEY HAVE REPLACED PARTS AND SAID IT WAS REPAIRED. THIS PAST WEEKEND I WAS ENTERING THE INTERSTATE IN A CONSTRUCTION AREA WHERE BARRIERS WERE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE INTERSTATE. I ACCELERATED TO ENTER THE INTERSTATE AND THERE WERE CARS AND A SEMI APPROACHING WHERE I ENTERED. I ACCELERATED TO GET UP TO SPEED WITH TRAFFIC AND THE TRUCK STALLED AND WOULD NOT TAKE FUEL. THE APPROACHING SEMI COULD NOT STOP IN TIME AND HAD TO SWERVE TO MISS ME. HE MISSED HITTING ME BY INCHES AND ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR. WITH THE BARRIERS IN PLACE I COULD NOT GET OFF THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE TRUCK STALLED. I HAVE THE ECO-BOOST ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER. THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING THAT IS CAUSING THE FAILURE. THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE CAUSED MULTIPLE INJURIES OR DEATHS HAD THE SEMI NOT BEEN ABLE TO AVOID HITTING ME OR THE OTHER CARS. I PERSONALLY FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS ENGINE. *TR
