Consumer Description

DT: THE CONSUMER BOUGHT A USED 2004 FORD F150 AND HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE DYING WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE. THIS OCCURS IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS AND AT SLOWER SPEEDS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. TOOK TO A DEALER AND THEY PERFORMED EEC DIAGNOSTIC QUICK TEST AND PINPOINT TEST DIAGNOSTIC IGNITION TESTS AS WELL. AS A RESULT OF THOSE TESTS THEY REPLACED A MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR ASSEMBLY AND REPROGRAMMED THE PCM. HAS BEEN TO DEALER ON 4 OCCASIONS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND DEALER CLAIMS THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. CONTACTED FORD MANUFACTURER THEY HAD "JOYSTICK"OR TEST STICK INSTALLED IN VEHICLE FOR 5 DAYS IN WHICH CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AT THAT TIME. THIS HAS HAPPENED 1 TIME SINCE. ALSO ON THE DASH THERE IS A 4X4 HIGH/LO LIGHT THAT ILLUMINATES ON THE DASH WHEN THIS OCCURS BUT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. DEALER SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO RESET THE PCM TO CORRECT THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. THIS IS STILL A PROBLEM, NO RECENT REPAIRS. DEALER CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. *JB
