1 Engine problem

Failure Date: 03/13/2011

Engine loss of power (shuts off) for no reason, vehicle engine dies sporadically (with a total of 9 incidents to date) when at a stop light or making a complete stop, this places myself, my wife and my three young children in a dangerous situation when on the highway or on a road due to this no-power situation, this may cause loss of control of the vehicle due to the engine shutting off for no reason. Vehicle has been to dealer several times and they say they are unable to diagnose the concern and return the vehicle to us with inconclusive results. We feel this is a manufacturer defect that needs to be addressed by the NHTSA and dot as it may places our family in a dangerous situation and may also be affecting other vehicles aside from ours. Please contact the manufacturer and assist us in addressing this concern. Thank you.

2 Engine problem

Failure Date: 10/08/2010

Driving approx 45mph down a busy 4 lane road my brand new F-150 quit running. Vehicle stopped with no warning, and stopped dead in its tracks. Thankfully the car behind me was able to swerve around me or I would have been rear-ended and someone could have been seriously injured. This is the 3rd time this has happened to me within 6 months. I took the truck to the dealership where they hooked it up and searched for codes, which they found none. Since they could not find any errors there is nothing they can do to fix the problem. So now I get to drive around in hopes that this doesn't happen while on the expressway, and no one gets injured.
