“During regeneration of the diesel particulate filter the truck loses power and operates roughly. This last occurred as I was merging into traffic on the highway during slick road conditions. This could have very easily resulted in loss of traction and/or collision as I was unable to accelerate to speed.”
NHTSA complaint #10819844, filed 2016-01, 5,100 miles“The vehicle is a 6.7 Ford power stroke. During a process called regen, where is cleans the diesel particulate filter, the engine would shake violently. It got worse overtime, to the point it started doing it wile I was merging onto interstate, pulling a piece of equipment (9000lb) on a trailer. It was dangerous with the loss of power. I have since traded it back to dealer as Ford has said it is normal operation.”
