2011 – F150 Eco-Boost with 53,000 miles. The check engine light appeared immediately as I tried to pull onto a freeway pulling a 3000 lbs boat. All of a sudden I had a drastic loss of power followed by a violent shutter. This eco-boost had been slightly shuttering under low RPM high torque loads since the day I bought it, but Ford said that without a warning light they couldn't do anything. Now the warning light comes on and I’m out of warranty. The dealer – Blue Bonnet Ford in New Braunfels, TX states that all repairs and diagnostic fees will be at my cost.
All of this comes on the heels of a failed power steering system 3 weeks ago. I spent a week fighting with Ford to get them to cover the parts, but it cost me 500 to cover the labor. Now I’m starting all over again. I’m beyond frustrated. My F-350 had an ongoing issue with failed fuel injectors, and now this F150 seems to be another UNRELIABLE truck. Don’t buy a truck based solely on appearance. I really think the Ford trucks are the best looking on the road, but my 4 previous Chevrolet's never had a single mechanical issue. That 350 motor is bullet proof.
Why in the world would I buy an extended warranty? Its Ford tuff and reliable, correct??? NOT!

Appreciate the feedback from others. I'll get the PCM flashed this week hopefully.

I went in for this today. Ive only had my truck a week now but after I picked it up I reset the MPG meter and put about 90 miles on it and was getting 3 MPG better so Im hoping that stays. Still only getting about 15.8, which is the same as the 2011 5.0 I had and the same as my dads 2012 Eco but we both have a pretty heavy foot so I dont expect too much.

I have had my '13 for right at 6 months and havent gotten this done because they wont give me a loaner. They say and hour but I see plenty of people saying 4 hours. I simply do not have 4 hours to sit at the dealership for a 50k truck! Ford Service, anything you can do about this?
