Had my 2011 Ecoboost in for the "fix" 3 times. Traded it for a 5.0 after the 3rd "fix" didn't work. Good luck!

It may be drier ware I live (we still get rain). We have taken the truck to Charleston SC some of my wife's family lives there and we drove through lots of rain on the way down and back (made the trip in 48 hr. 3k mi each way down for a week father in law passed away) I know it's not the same as living there but the truck never skipped a beet . Sorry you are having trouble its just not all of them.

I live in the northeast and we are winding down as to humid conditions. You have a good chance to test it in your area. Try to remember the conditions as to temps and humidity % and take it on a highway trip for a hour or so at the same speed,, then floor it a couple of times and see if it does it! That is the problem,, duplication on the exact conditions is difficult unless you could go to nasa tunnel and have it tested. That is what Ford needs to do.. get the conditions set in the tunnel and then apply a possible fix, then retest... without the exact same conditions it is all guess work for Ford and the customer to see if the fix works. So where I live I won't be complaining again until mid May through September. For those in warm dry climates,,, they don't worry unless they have to travel to places that can duplicate the condition. I know I have 11000 miles of good experience until it happened but again I have only floored the truck 2 or 3 times. Only thing is the other 2 times were from a dead stop on a nice dry day showing my friend what it could do... the first time I floored it in the rainy, humid day it did it! So I have drove my truck for 11000 miles in the rainy humid conditions and never had the problem until I floored it! Could it have happened many times if I did floor it???? Not sure,,,, it could be an exact condition (s) that it needs to act up but I know one of them is flooring it!
