How many people are experiencing this issue AFTER the latest "fix" that Ford issued? Or maybe that should be another poll....

Yeah, 27 out of 80, that's a lot, even on this board here (probably higher here than overall average, but still).
Flea, It sounds to me like the TSB does not really fix the issue. It makes it maybe less likely to happen? Not sure. I have seen too many say that it still happened, even after the TSB was done.

With that said........ 21k miles and have not had this happen to me (fingers crossed) .... 0 issues thus far.
If the coils and injectors are the cause for this misfire/shudder problem, could low octane fuel or bad fuel be the cause for coil and injector failures? Maybe these engines need the higher octane. I run a name brand like Exxon or Shell 93 octane all the time and no issues.

Haven't had any issues at all. Actually, I haven't even heard of this until I read the thread.

Service Adviser just called me and said the tech checked the PCM and no misfires or codes..I told her the exact time it happened but apparently they don't have that ability to check that...She said she was having the transmission mechanic drive it home and try and recreate the problem...I am not comfortable with a mechanic taking my truck home with him,especially if he is a smoker as I quit 6 months ago and can't be around the smell. As well would this be considered a transmission issue? Is this standard procedure? I will have my cell's video camera on standby from now on to record the evidence if it happens again.


This is the exact thing that happened, not my video...

Nothing for me either.

2012 truck built in 12/2012 and around 3500miles. With that being said and our lack of rain down here I haven't driven it in the rain for any extended period to test the condensation issue out.

This poll is starting to blow a hole in the only 1% of the 5% of owners or whatever argument and makes me nervous.

Poll really means nothing, what 100 voters...there are 3182 people logged in to the forums at this exact moment. I'm actually surprised that the poll isn't the other way, not because I think it's all that common, but that this many have come to vote no when they don't have the problem instead of overlooking the thread. As always, in forums you’re going to get more of the complaints in percentage than the good as most non-forum regulars only go looking at forums when they have problems. Mine has never done it, and I serious think it's got to be less than 5% actual trucks doing this, or have been noticed doing it. Mine has more than enough opportunities, we've had like 12 inches more rain that normal this year and it is always humid.
