Description of the problem | 3. 5l ecoboost engine died while accelerating mildly on a highway at 55 - 60mph. Numerous fault lights came on, including service engine soon, advance trac, and various other. I coasted into a parking lot, placed into park, shut off ignition, and restarted. Engine shuttered violently, so i turned it off and waited 10 mins. Restarted fine. Dealership replaced 'high pressure pump ring gasket due to deformation and suspected vacuum leak'. 2 wks later, was driving 70mph on interstate and engine cut out again. Very dangerous situation with 5 lanes of traffic and merging traffic. I coasted to a stop, turned off ignition, and restarted. Again.. The engine shook violently and as i tried to pull further into median, the brakes could barely stop the truck from moving due to high revving engine. Had to tow to another dealership 3 hours from my house! Backlog will take over 1 month to repair! |
