No accidents yet means Ford will prevail. NHTSA does not care about engine issues, only problems that have been proven to be unsafe and that is where Ford will prove otherwise. Look at the Mustang 6 speed manual Chinese transmission debacle. Accidents were reported do to the problems and still, NHTSA found no issue with the transmissions and sided with Ford. While it sucks there is a problem NHSTA will not help in this case in my opinion. What would help is a BAD reputation being (globally) put on these engines thereby making Ford step up and fix the problem(s). At least the NHTSA complaints have started the reputation pounding and I am keeping my fingers crossed for all Eco-boost owners.

Think maybe there are only 95 complaints because many of us like myself have been complaining to the wrong folks, mainly Ford. I have had that issue and pretty much gave up on Ford, spent more time and money to get it corrected with no results.

I hope something comes of this. I have a late build 2012 with shield and it has had the loss of power once in the rain.

How come you had to spend money on it? What have you been trying?

Yes, it happened to me.

I came down an on-ramp onto I-94 and gave it the beans in order to teach slower vehicles whose boss and dominate the passing lane. But then my engine ingested enough water vapor from my prior puttering along at 55mph that it caused a series of misfires, enough to throw the computer into a limp-home mode and my V6 turned into a ****ty-running V4 or V3.

The shame off of all. Under the glow of my engine light, and the anemic sputtering of my water-logged Ecoboost, I was forced to slow other traffic down as I darted back out of the left lane, crossed two other lanes and onto the shoulder and a hard stop.

With traffic flying by, I shut the truck off. Then moments later, I started the truck back up. Once again the wail of my Ford Motors V6 could be heard, once again the scream of my twin turbos spooling could be heard above the dim of passing traffic!

Jamming my truck into gear, I accelerated away from that horrible place of shame on the side of the road where my Ecoboost lost power and have given the incident nary a thought since.

Have the slight modifications to the 2013 helped prevent this?

My 13 hasnt done it, but i only have 2k miles on it, so we'll see. I have driven it in a few down pours with no loss of power or shudders at WOT, and I live in OK which is a very humid state.

Also I think it's mainly the 2011 models. Because its always a 2011 EB I hear it happening too
