NHTSA Complaint #10557668 — 2013 FORD F-150

AFTER DRIVING IN RAIN FOR A COUPLE HOURS IN MY ECOBOOST F150, I WAS MERGING ONTO AN INTERSTATE WHERE TRAFFIC REQUIRED HEAVY ACCELERATION AND THE VEHICLE STALLED FROM 60-65 ABRUPTLY TO 45 MPH. THE VEHICLE SHUTTERED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BACK TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR NEARLY A MINUTE. THE ENGINE RAN EXTREMELY ROUGH AND WAS UNRESPONSIVE TO THROTTLE INPUT FROM DRIVER. I HAD MY FAMILY WITH ME AND WAS VERY UPSET THAT WE COULD HAVE BEEN IN A VERY BAD ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT INFORM ME OF PROBLEMS WITH THE ECOBOOST AT THE TIME OF SALE, EVEN THOUGH THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE ECOBOOST INTRODUCTION. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I FIND THE NHTSA HAS FAILED TO RECALL THESE TRUCKS. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED IS MARLER FORD, NEAR ALEXANDRIA, LA. YOU ARE NOT TO USE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION IN ANYWAY EXCEPT TO HANDLE THIS COMPLAINT. WHICH INCLUDES BUT NOT LIMITED TO SELLING OR OTHERWISE PROVIDING THIS INFORMATION TO OUTSIDE AGENCIES. *TR
