NHTSA Complaint #10606879 — 2013 FORD F-150

WAS ACCELERATING ENTERING INTERSTATE I95 NORTH BOUND FROM AN ON RAMP AND SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE LOST POWER AND BEGAN TO STALL AND SHUTTER. THE TRUCK RAPIDLY LOST POWER PLUS SPEED AND A TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK ALMOST RAN IN TO THE BACK OF ME. I DEALT WITH THIS ISSUE FOR THE REMAINDER OF MY 500 MILE TRIP TO NYC (AND STILL DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE TODAY NOW WEEKLY BASES). ONCE BACK HOME I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO WAS AWARE OF MISFIRE ISSUES WITH MY TRUCK MODEL (APPARENTLY IT IS KNOWN BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE TRUCK STALLS AND MISFIRES ISSUE AND SAID I HAD ALL THE LATEST UPDATES HOWEVER STILL TODAY I EXPERIENCE STALL AND MISFIRE MAINLY UNDER HARD ACCELERATION. LATELY THE ISSUE HAS WORSEN AND I AM TOLD BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN OF WILL DO ABOUT IT UNTIL THEY COME UP WITH A FIX. THIS VEHICLE IS A MAJOR SAFETY RISK PERIOD. I HAVE ASKED THE MANUFACTURER OVER AND OVER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM HOWEVER THEY SIMPLY TOLD ME THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX FOR IS AS OF YET. I AM ASKING THAT YOU LOOK INTO THIS AND INVESTIGATE MY CONCERN PLEASE DON'T WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE GOD FORBID LOOSE THEIR LIFE BECAUSE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. WE NEED TO BE MORE PROACTIVE THAN REACTIVE. THE FORD F150'S EQUIPPED WITH THE TURBO ECO BOOST ENGINE IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT AND LOOSE THEIR LIFE BEFORE SOMETHING MIGHT BE DONE - THAT IS THE SAD PART. PLEASE I BEG YOU TO LOOK INTO MY CONCERN AND FOLLOW UP ASAP. JUST LAST NIGHT MY VEHICLE STALLED I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY DRIVE IT CAUTIOUSLY. I ONLY HAVE LESS THAN 14,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT - I DON'T WANT TO SELL IT TO NO ONE ELSE BECAUSE I WOULD FEEL BAD KNOWING THE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES THIS VEHICLE HAS - I JUST CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO PUTTING SOMEONE IN A VEHICLE THAT COULD HURT THEM. PLEASE GET BEHIND FORD AND INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. *TR
