Consumer Description

DT: THE CONSUMER STATED 2005 FORD F150 SURGED FORWARD. IT FELT LIKE CRUISE CONTROL KICKED IN. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND DEALERSHIP CALLED FORD, AND THEY HAD THE ACCELERATOR CHIP REALIGNED. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS FIXED THE SURGING CONTINUED. HE CONTINUED TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND FORD. ACCORDING TO CUSTOMER SERVICE THE ENGINEERS SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. CONSUMER WAS CURRENTLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, SO WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN LAST WEEK, AND THEY KEPT IT FOR A WEEK, AND THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. ON THE WAY HOME TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND SURGED FORWARD. DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER KEPT TELLING HIM TO CALL THE OTHER. CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT DEALERSHIP AT LEAST FIVE TIMES, AND GOT A DIFFERENT SERVICE MANAGER EVERY TIME. THE PROBLEM STARTED THE NIGHT HE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. *AK
