U1011 fault code: what 9 Ford owners reported

While driving on the highway my car randomly went into limp mode rapidly and nearly caused an accident. I do know the code was U1011. It is a PCM fault stating the PCM and the engine has lost connection. It has been noted to turn on and off randomly and cannot be replicated until it reappears. Dealerships have been giving the run around that it goes away so it’s not a problem. Everyone to include me is having the problem after getting a recent PCM update recall done. My local ford deal shops even say they can see the fault happens, but will not do anything to solve the issue. This fault puts me and everyone in the road as risk randomly sending my car into limp mode without warning or signs.

Car stalled soon after start up showing many faults in the system. Initially thinking it was the battery with cold weather I took it to the dealership and had them look at it/replace the battery. The next day it stalled again the exact same way. I read the codes that it was showing and it came back with P061a U1011 and U1028. Was able to get it to another dealership to look at it and they performed computer updates and resets. I picked it up from the dealership and it died again a mile down the road with the same issue. They were able to get it back to the dealership where it died on them again. They have not been able to identify the issue but are wanting me to come pick up the car. The car…

I have been unable to recreate the problem after clearing the codes. Prior to this…
