Consumer Description

REGARDING: 2005 FORD F 150 TRUCK PURCHASED NEW FROM DEALER, HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH STALLING. IT HAS STALLED IN REVERSE AND WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT TODAY ON THE FREEWAY, WHICH IS WHY I AM TAKING THE TIME TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. I ALSO KNOW A FEW PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE ALSO SEEN MANY POSTINGS ONLINE FOR THIS ISSUE. MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INJURED IN ACCIDENTS AND MANY TRUCKS HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE. ALL HAVE STARTED WITH THESE SAME PROBLEMS. FORD RECOGNIZED THIS PROBLEM UNTIL THE MADE YEAR OF 2004. I DO BELIEVE IT ALSO A PROBLEM WITH 2005, AND MAYBE WITH OTHER YEARS. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE CHECKED INTO. I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC, AND HE IS NOT SURE OF THE PROBLEM. I SEE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH FORD AND FUEL INJECTORS AND CRUISE CONTROL WITH MY YEAR OF TRUCK, BUT NO RECALLS. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER AND I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT IT BE HANDLED RESPONSIBLY. *TR
