Consumer Description

I was driving down the interstate, traveling around 70MPH and my check engine light came on as well as a notification to my phone. The phone notification from the Ford Pass app read: POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION / REDUCED POWER What is Happening?: Illuminates when the system has detected a powertrain or a four-wheel drive fault. What should I do?: A powertrain or all wheel drive/four wheel drive fault has been detected. Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. The vehicle wasn't responding to me pushing down on the accelerator, as if the engine had just stopped working. I bought this truck new in October of 2021 - it is a 2021 F-150 and currently has only 9,500 miles on the odometer. As soon as this happened, I thought back to an article I saw recently about the Ford Broncos failing.. connecting the dots, the same engine that is failing in the new Broncos, the 2nd generation 2.7L V6 is the same engine in my 2021 F-150. It has not been diagnosed as of this moment, it will be diagnosed tomorrow; however, I am afraid this case is the same as the others reporting issues with the 2nd generation Ford 2.7L V6 - I may need a new motor!
