NHTSA Complaint #10545262 — 2013 FORD F-150

I PURCHASED MY TRUCK BRAND NEW IN APRIL OF 2013. IT IS A 2013 FORD F-150 FX4 SUPER CREW ECOBOOST. MONDAY (9-23-13) I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE I-75 AT APPROX. 70MPH, I HIT THE ACCELERATOR TO PASS A VEHICLE AND WHEN I DID, MY TRUCK DROPPED DOWN TO 2ND OR 3RD GEAR, BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, LOST POWER (HP), AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF THE TRUCK AND WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND PROCEEDED ON MY DRIVE HOME. I DROVE ONE MORE HOUR, STOPPED IN TAMPA FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS, THEN GOT BACK ON I-75. ONE AND A HALF HOURS LATER, IT DID THE SAME THING AT 60MPH THIS TIME. THIS TRUCK IS KNOWN FOR THIS ISSUE. THE INTERCOOLER SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM. MY TRUCK NOW HAS 9500 MILES ON IT. WHAT'S UPSETTING IS THAT THIS IS THE 2ND TIME MY TRUCK HAS DONE THIS. THE FIRST TIME OCCURRED ON JULY 15, 2013 WITH 5,100 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP KEPT MY TRUCK FOR 4 DAYS AND REPLACED THE INTERCOOLER, ASSURING ME THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED (WHICH IT WASN'T, AS MY TRUCK REPEATED THE ISSUE YESTERDAY, EVEN WITH THE REPLACEMENT PART). THERE ARE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MODEL TRUCK HAVING THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, AS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME, I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT HEAD-ON BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC (BECAUSE THE VEHICLE TOTALLY LOSES ALL POWER, NO ACCELERATION). *JS
