I have 27,xxx on my f150 ecoboost, and it has been in the shop 4+ times. Once the window decided to roll up on its own. But the main stuff has been the same problem everyone else is having...that is, you go to pass a vehicle and the engine all be gives up the ghost. It starts shaking violently and feels like every nut and bolt is about to come loose. This has happened numerous times to me, each time I'm told nothing shows up on the computer. It recently happened again, and I have it on video this time. It goes to the dealer soon. In the past, they replaced a converter, but this did not fix it. It has done it 2 times since it was replaced. The first time it did it, it had less than 4000miles on it.

When it first happened, the truck was new and there wasn't a lot on the internet about the problem, but now you can run a simple search and see that this is a big problem that a lot have. You would think Ford would address the issue. I have $35k+ invested in my piece of junk that just turned a year old.

What remedies have the dealers/ford been giving to the people with these problems?

Thanks

If you pull out in front of someone whether it be to change lanes, at an intersection, or even passing a car on a two lane road without giving yourself enough room ahead for them to stop or slow down if something is wrong then it is the driver that purposely performed an unsafe procedure and should not have done it in the first place. You will have a hard time finding a DOT officer or judge to say otherwise. If the truck suddenly stopped at highways speeds without warning then that is a safety issue, but not a gradual slowing down of a vehicle. Mike is right, over dramatizing it does not get it solved quicker and the person exaggerating it just ends up looking like a fool anyways.

Can't tell you how many people damn near wrecked in to me or other people while trying to avoid me and while I was limping to the shoulder at 30mph in 70+ mph traffic.

Yeah, not a safety issue at all. Nope.
