Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE FELT LIKE IT WAS LOSING POWER AND MISSING AT TIMES. THE VEHICLE GAS MILEAGE HAD DECREASED OVER THE LAST FEW TIMES DRIVING. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. NOT FLASHING JUST ILLUMINATED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP THE SAME DAY AS THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND VAPOR VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN IF THESE 2012 ECOBOOST MOTORS ARE LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING.
