I have had my truck now for several months and besides the EPA being lower than I expected I like my truck. However, just recently I have noticed when cruising on the highway around 60-70 mph then gently pressing on the gas to pick up speed or pass my truck goes crazy. It starts to jerk around like its skipping gears or misfiring, it is shaking making noises and owing power and the engine/transmission light starts blinking like crazy and then I have to pull over till it all calms down. This is very scary especially when you have kids in the truck and 18 wheelers flying by. It is very unsafe and I have an appointment at the Ford Service Center today but does anyone have a similar problem? I also posted a video of this happening on YouTube just search for 2012 F150 Ecoboost problems and my user name is mattdad379 you can see what I mean.

It's the CAC problem. Known issue, take it to the dealer and have the TSB done.

Well they said something was faulty and my number 3 cylinder had problems and they replaced a part and all seems to be working normal now.

No, Arti, he meant in a good way. If you smash on the gas in a vehicle with a lot of torque I would hope the wheels would spin. Just...stop posting.
