Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Engine stumbles on light acceleration like it is starving for fuel. I hit the gas, the engine starts to respond, then stumbles. Doesn't natter if the engine is hot or cold. I have the same issue with my 2018 f-150. Dealer can't find anything, as it doesn't produce a fault code and it doesn't act up when they test it.”
