NHTSA Complaint #11324203 — 2011 FORD F-150

I PURCHASED MY 2011 F150 ECOBOOST IN USED CONDITION IN 2014. THE PRIMARY USE FOR MY TRUCK IS AROUND TOWN ERRANDS AND HAULING LIGHT LOADS. FOR SOMETIME NOW I HAVE HAD ISSUES, LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED AS WELL, DURING ACCELERATION AT 45+MPH THE ENGINE LOSES IT'S POWER, SHUDDERS AND STALLS. ONCE THERE IS A REDUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF THROTTLE, IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES TO REGAIN "NORMAL" DRIVING CONDITIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, MY FAMILY AND I WERE COMING HOME FROM FLORIDA ON THE PARKWAY, IN JULY AND WITH NO ABNORMAL WEATHER CONDITIONS, AND AS I WAS ASCENDING A GRADE ABOUT 75 MILES PER HOUR AND A SEMI TRUCK BEHIND ME, I GAVE THE TRUCK MORE THROTTLE AND IT BEGAN TO SHUDDER VIOLENTLY, A SUBTLE BACKFIRE, AND LOST POWER AND COULD NOT REGAIN THROTTLE RESPONSE. I QUICKLY MOVED THE TRUCK INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND HAD LET THE TRUCK RETURN TO A NORMAL IDLE, TOOK A FEW MINUTES, BEFORE ALMOST GETTING INTO A SERIOUS COLLISION WITH THE SEMI-TRUCK. OVER THE PAST YEARS I HAVE JUST DEALT WITH THE ISSUE AND HAVE TAKEN IT TO MECHANICS AND SCANNED THE TRUCK WITH NO ERROR CODES OR ISSUES, UNTIL JUST RECENTLY. THE MECHANIC SCANNED IT AND IT SHOWED MISFIRES ON #4 AND #6. HE REPLACED THE COIL AND PLUG HOPING THAT WOULD BE THE CURE, BUT WITH NO LUCK IT DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. I'M RELUCTANT TO DROP ANOTHER $250.00 TO REPLACE THE REST OF THE COILS, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I DO NOT HAVE DISPOSABLE INCOME AND THE TRUCK IS PAID FOR, I AND CAN'T AFFORD TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE. I ENJOY MY F150 AND PLAN ON KEEPING IT UNTIL THE WHEELS FALL OFF. I HAVE READ POST AFTER POST AND VIDEO'S THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES, BUT IT SEEMS NO ONE IS WILLING TO STEP FORWARD AND MAKE THE COMPLAINT. I WANT THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED AND I HOPE FORD WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR A LIFE IS TAKEN OVER THIS PROBLEM. *TR
