I WAS PULLING MY BOAT, WHEN COMING TO A STOP, TO PARK THE TRUCK, IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE KEY TO STOP IT. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE AROUND TO BLOCK AND COME BACK TO MAKE ANOTHER STOP AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I AGAIN TURNED OFF THE KEY.

I WAS PULLING MY BOAT, WHEN COMING TO A STOP, TO PARK THE TRUCK, IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE KEY TO STOP IT. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE AROUND TO BLOCK AND COME BACK TO MAKE ANOTHER STOP AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I AGAIN TURNED OFF THE KEY. I LET THE TRUCK SET FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND RESTARTED IT WITH NO OTHER INCIDENTS. I AM VERY AFRAID IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK TO THE FORD DEALER WHEN I GOT HOME AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. *TR

NO PROBLEMS UNTIL ABOUT 60,000 MILES. THEN ONE DAY, WHILE STOPPED, THE TRUCK SUDDENLY DIED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE GAS GAUGE WOULD INDICATED A QUARTER TANK WHEN THE TANK WAS ACTUALLY FULL. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED AT THE SAME TIME. I HAD TWO OXYGEN SENSORS REPLACED (ABOUT $400) TO CLEAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED (ABOUT $700) ON THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO CURE THE GAS GAUGE PROBLEM. WHILE TURNING ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE HAS DIED AND WAS HARD TO STEER. ONCOMING CARS HAD TO BRAKE RAPIDLY AS I HAVE HAD A HARD TIME STEERING WITH NO POWER. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE TRUCK DIES OR RUNS VERY ROUGH AND NEARLY STALLS ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT MORE THAN A MILE OR SO. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE CODE AND THE DEALER STATED IT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR EVALUATION. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WOULD FIX THIS ISSUE IF IT COULD BE IDENTIFIED. *TR
