SEPTEMBER 2015 I-75 NORTH BOUND, ATTEMPTED TO PASS A VEHICLE AT 70 MPH AND HAD LOSS OF POWER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND VIOLENT ENGINE SHAKING FOR 5-10 MINUTES ON THE HIGHWAY BEFORE SHAKING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STOPPED. HAPPENED IN THE GAINESVILLE FL AREA CLOUDY BUT DRY DAY, HAD ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE DONE IN VENICE FL PRIOR TO GETTING ON THE ROAD AT THE DEALERSHIP, 36,500 MILES. OCTOBER 2015 I-44 EAST BOUND TULSA OK, REENTERING THE INTERSTATE HAD LOSS OF POWER UNABLE TO ENTER AT APPROPRIATE SPEEDS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND VIOLENT SHAKING. SLAMMED ON GAS AND THEN BRAKE PEDALS WITH NO DIFFERENCE. PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE PARKED THE TRUCK, TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED AS SOON AS IT STARTED GUNNED THE GAS PEDAL RPM IN THE RED LINE AND AGAIN THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SHOOK DID THIS FOR 30 MINUTES UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO START THE TRUCK AND GUN THE RPM INTO THE RED LINE WITHOUT LOSS OF POWER. CALLED DEALERSHIP ASKING ABOUT HYDROPLANING AND ENGINE LOSING POWER LIKE IN THE TUNDRA TRUCKS, WAS TOLD NO FORD DOES NOT HAVE THAT SAFETY FEATURE. COLD AND WET WEATHER CONDITIONS 40,000 MILES. NOVEMBER 2015 ON TX 82 WEST BOUND AT 80 MPH, 35 DEGREES AND RAINY CONDITIONS. ATTEMPTED TO PASS A SEMI AND HAD LOSS OF POWER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND VIOLENT SHAKING WAS A PASSENGER IN THE TRUCK AT THIS TIME AND WAS STILL ABLE TO FEEL THE SHAKING FROM THE ENGINE. AGAIN LASTED 5-10 MINUTES. WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGE BEFORE THE TRIP IN THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER. 43,000 MILES. HAVE BEEN TO MY DEALERSHIP ASKING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE MAY BE A RECALL BUT SO FAR NOTHING. I DO INTERSTATE DRIVING IN LESS THAN IDEAL CONDITIONS (RAIN, SNOW AND ICE) I NEED THIS TRUCK TO PREFORM THAT IS WHY I BOUGHT IT. I UNDERSTAND IT TAKES TIME AND MONEY TO MAKE A RECALL HAPPEN, BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE ACCIDENTS.
