Vehicle shudders and makes a popping noise form engine. Sounds like a misfire. Check engine light flashes on sometimes during this event. Also when cranking it misfires sometimes. This has been ongoing since I drove the vehicle home day one brand new.

This issue is happening widespead amongst owners of Ford's new 3.5L high output powertrain. Upon open throttle, the engine will instantly drop off all power, causing the truck to dangerously and unexpectedly drop to zero miles per hour. Very dangerous and life threatening while entering roadways or interstate roads with traffic. Upon open throttle, a "low oil pressure" light takes over the viewing area on the dash cluster and then disappears after restarting the vehicle. Upon restarting, the truck will fail and provide a "low oil pressure" signal again after applying open throttle. This can happen when taking off from a dead stop or under cruising speeds, when open throttle is applied, the engine fails and cuts off all power. It doesnt matter if you are turning or going straight, the issue happens regardless. Always happens under open throttle. This has become a widespead issue with owners of the truck from model year 2017-2018. Ford needs to respond and fix this issue for the safety of their customers.
