Inebriated 4 ur safety
To think all this would not even be an issue if Ford wasn't forced to make the truck cut fuel to some injectors causing a shudder/vibration just to save emissions system after a misfire. If the regulations weren't there, then all you would have is a brief misfire and nothing more.
The NHTSA will not charge Ford for any safety recall becuase the shudder and loss of power is due to an EPA regulation. The only thing the engine is doing is misfiring and the rest is working as designed per regulations. Good luck trying to get one government entity to charge another with a safety issue especially if it's the all powerful EPA.

I've got to disagree. Fundamentally, it's a fixable issue if fords parents are too be believed. There are requirements that make it difficult, but that doesn't mean it's not fords problem.

The real question is; how much water is enough to cause hydrolock?
