According to the Detroit News, 400,000 Ford F-150 trucks are being investigated by the U.S. for engine problems.
Washington — The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Sunday it is opening a preliminary investigation into 400,000 of Ford’s best-selling F-150 trucks for acceleration problems.
NHTSA said it received 95 reports of incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations in 2011-2013 Ford F-150 trucks equipped with 3.5L EcoBoost gasoline turbocharged direct injection engines, the agency said in a notice on its website.
Some complaints allege unexpected sharp reductions in engine power during hard accelerations at highway speeds, such as attempted merging or passing maneuvers.
