NHTSA Complaint #10721535 — 2011 FORD F-150

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK THIS VERY HUMID MORNING MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE IN MY 2011 ECOBOOST F-150. AS I ACCELERATED TO MERGE, MY RPM'S WENT UP BUT MY SPEED ACTUALLY DROPPED JUST AS VEHICLES WERE COMING IN AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED BEHIND ME. I LET OFF ON THE THROTTLE AND AGAIN PRESSED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR WITH THE SAME RESULT. I WAS TRAPPED BETWEEN CARS AND CAUSED ONE CAR TO SWERVE DANGEROUSLY ON THE HIGHWAY. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT, BUT CERTAINLY GOT MY FILL OF MIDDLE FINGERS FROM UPSET MOTORISTS AND LUCKED OUT NOT BEING THE VICTIM OF ROAD RAGE MY TRUCK CAUSED. A MINUTE OR SO LATER THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO OPERATE AS NORMAL. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE THIS MORNING I REALIZED THIS IS EXTREMELY COMMON WITH THIS ENGINE. I CONTACTED BOTH MY LOCAL DEALER AND FORD CORPORATE ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL AND IF I "WANT SOMEONE TO LOOK AT IT" I WOULD HAVE TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN AND PAY FOR SERVICE SINCE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY.
