Or people need to use some common sense when driving.
Almost every thread I read about an EcoBoost shudder occurs when they are pulling out in front of a Semi doing 70, or trying to pass when there is oncoming traffic.
I'm not doubting the issue but wonder why every occurrence has to be some sensational event.

I am new to the forum as a user, but have browsed the threads over the past year. I have a 2012 EB purchased new. I first reported the issue to the dealer with 3500 miles on the truck. After a severe instance later at 34,000 miles the CAC was replaced and a TSB applied. I just had the issue again 2 weeks ago at 59,000 miles. The dealer says they see the misfires but there are no TSBs available. Ford basically says deal with it.
I am now pursuing the lemon law in TN. I'm sick of the issues and refuse to keep a $42,000 truck that I can not drive safely in the rain, along with any long term issues with the truck sucking moisture in the engine to the point that it misfires severely. I filed a report with the nhtsa last summer after the severe issue. My state's lemon law requires you to take action within 6 months of the factory warranty expiration. Luckily I started reporting the issue and the dealer started trying to fix the problem at 3,500 miles.
I will never own another ford after this experience. Every vehicle has the potential to have issues. My problem is how ford has handled this in refusing a recall and leaving customers hanging out to dry.
