NHTSA Complaint #10864246 — 2016 FORD F-150

SO I'VE GOT 16,000 MILES ON MY NEW 2016 F150 TRUCK. LAST WEEK I WAS CRUISING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN THE FAST LANE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK SHUDDERS THEN LOSES ALL DRIVETRAIN POWER. THE ENGINE WAS STILL ON BUT ONLY OPERATING AT BTWN 600 AND 800 RPMS BUT THE ACCELERATOR WAS UNRESPONSIVE. WAS NO FUN TRYING TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER WITH NO POWER. ONE WEEK LATER, SAME THING TWICE ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY DIDN'T SEEM OVERLY CONCERNED THAT MY NEW TRUCK WAS STRANDING ME IN THE FAST LANE WITH NO POWER. THEY SAID BRING IT IN AT THE END OF THE WEEK AND WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT. SO I START RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM AND CAN ONLY FIND RELATED ARTICLES FROM AROUND 2012 WHEN FORD WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HUMIDITY IN ITS NEW ECOBOOST ENGINES. I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA WHERE THE HUMIDITY IS NOT VERY FIERCE SO I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE PROBLEM OR NOT, BUT AFTER READING SOME POSTS ON HOW FORD DEALT WITH THIS PROBLEM BEFORE, I'M NOT VERY OPTIMISTIC ON THE OUTCOME THIS TIME.
