Consumer Description

So I was driving my 2016 Ford F150 3.5L v6 twin turbo today. I turned a corner and punched the accelerator to get up to speed and it felt like I ran into a brick wall and the truck began chiming and I lost all power. I mean I had *zero* power - I pushed the gas pedal down and nothing at all happened. The warnings were: "Service AdvanceTrac System" "Hill Descent Control Fault" "Collision Warning Not Available" "Hill Start Assist Not Available" There was an orange wrench on the dash, the air bag light was on, the traction control light was on. The truck was idling super rough the whole truck was shaking. I shut the truck off - gave it a second and started it back up and Everything disappeared. It started happening maybe once every six months and now it’s multiple times a day. Today, i was in the middle of an intersection when it happened and barely made it to the side of the road.
