Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON SR 71 NORTH OF COLUMBUS OHIO IN THE RAIN WHEN I CHANGED LANES AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT THE ENGINE JUST STARTED SHAKING AND MY ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. I MANAGED TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER SITTING A FEW MINUTES I TRIED TO GET BACK ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. AFTER A 3RD ATTEMPT THE TRUCK FINALLY GOT UP TO SPEED AND I MADE IT HOME. MY ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. I BEGAN TO READ FORUMS ON THE FORD F150 FX4 AND DISCOVERED MANY MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH MOISTURE AND THE INTERCOOLER SYSTEM.. I COULD'VE DIED TODAY. THIS NEEDS TO BE MADE RIGHT BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY.
