NHTSA Complaint #10535753 — 2012 FORD F-150

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 60 MPH. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO ABOUT 80% OF TRAVEL. THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED AND THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY HAD AN ALMOST TOTAL LOSS OF POWER. I TOTALLY RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR AND THEN APPLY ABOUT 10% AND THE ENGINE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE ENGINE CONTINUED ON AS NORMAL - GIVEN TRAFFIC CONDITIONS I DID NOT ATTEMPT A SECOND HARD ACCELERATOR APPLICATION. IT WAS RAINING AND HAD BEEN RAINING ABOUT AN HOUR WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I CALL FORD AND WAS GIVEN A TSB REPAIR CODE. IT IS FORD TSB 13-8-1 - AN EARLIER VERSION OF THE THIS TSB WAS 12-10-19 AND 12-6-4. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THIS ENGINE AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE NEXT DAY I DID ACCELERATE IN THE SAME FASHION AND THE ENGINE RESPONDED PROPERLY - IT WAS NOT RAINING WHEN I DID THIS. *TR
