Consumer Description

AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MINUTES, I PARKED MY TRUCK FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. AFTER RETURNING TO MY VEHICLE AND PULLING AWAY, MY TRUCK WOULD BARELY ACCELERATE. I GAVE IT MORE GAS AND A LARGE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON MY DASH AND SOON DISAPPEARED. ONCE IT WAS GONE, MY SPEEDOMETER DIDN'T FUNCTION, THE MILEAGE WAS GONE AND THE AIR BAG DISCONNECT WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. I DECIDED TO DRIVE IT TO MY DEALERSHIP 10 MILES AWAY SO THEY COULD ATTEMPT TO REGISTER A CODE ON THEIR COMPUTER AS I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS TRUCK BUCKING/SURGING WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAYS SPEEDS FOR 8 MONTHS. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME A WARNING LIGHT HAD ILLUMINATED FOR A PROBLEM. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE ISSUES, I NOTICED THAT THE SIGNALS WERE NOT TURN OFF AUTOMATICALLY AND HAD TO BE DEACTIVATED MANUALLY DURING TURNS. AFTER THE TECHNICIAN TOOK TECHNICAL INFORMATION MY VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND ON AND EVERYTHING RETURNED TO NORMAL. AS I MENTIONED THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE AND THEY ARE GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. I SEE NO RECALLS FROM FORD ON THIS ECOBOOST ENGINE.
