Haha no disrespect to you OP but it's funny how many people come here and start a new thread about this thinking they are the first to bring this news here.

The first thing that comes to my mind each time I see a new one of these threads is:

I'm sad to hear people are having problems with their Ecoboost motors. But I have only heard of a couple of acceleration loss incidents. Plus we've never had and issue with our Ecoboost and love it!

Sorry, but the first thing that comes to *my* mind is the common denominator with all 3 EB engines... (that'd be you, BTW) It's kinda like the guy who's been married 4 or 5 times and says "I just haven't found the right one yet". He never thinks about BEING the 'right one'.

Anybody have any ideas about the percentage of dissatisfied owners of.... say, Corvettes.... Priuses.... Oooh- how 'bout RAM trucks (sorry, but I just had to throw that one in. -I think I'd take a broke-down EB F150 over a RAM truck...)?


95 out of 400,000 = 0.02375% - That's a problem rate that many aspire to!

I, as an award-winning structural welder, could only WISH to have a weld failure/rejection rate of 0.02375%!

Some people can get so ridiculous about such stupid things. Do these things seem to be promulgated by the "Jealous Others" who don't have the EB engine/tech? I think there's something to the idea...

Please save it. If it were your truck with the issues you'd react the same way. Does anyone here think that number of 95 Eco complaints will exponentially grow over the next month or two especially as the word gets around (this thread is proof of how quickly word spreads). Ford had better step up and fix this issue before it gets out of hand.

I work with a guy who had this issue with his 2011 FX2 EB. He would have the "lag" problem when accelerating at a fast pace in the rain. So, to test my EB, I try to accelerate quickly in the rain to see if it will experience this "lagging" effect. It hasn't happened yet after 6 months and countless tests.

As a matter of fact, it rained today while I was driving to work, and I had no such issues. I feel for the owners who have had this issue, and I hope it all works out in the end.

Seriously? Turbos failed on both engines?
Something is a bit off with this.
