2012 Eco Boost bogging down
I have been searching through the forum but haven't found this issue.
After cruising down the highway for a couple hours and needing to kick into "passing" gear to get around a slower driver, my eco boost boggs down like it's starved for fuel. I am forced to back off and try again and I am sure the person I am trying to pass thinks I am just being a jerk. I have 42K miles on it now but it has done this since it was new.
I have had one of the catalytic converters replaced under warranty and the service rep said that should fix the bogging down issue. It did not.
The last time it did this my check engine light came on and the code showed a misfire on cylinder 6.
Has anyone else experienced this? The two different dealers I've dealt with say there is no recall and they can't diagnose it.
I've also been told that the turbo's build up condensation and when you really get on it, the condesation gets blown into the engine. Is there any validity to this claim?
Thanks for your help.
