Consumer Description

TWICE IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS MY TRUCK HAS SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP. THE FIRST TIME I THOUGHT I HAD ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE ACCELERATOR AT THE SAME TIME AS THE BRAKE; BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND IT WAS CLEARLY A SURGE WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL. BOTH TIMES WERE AT LOW SPEEDS AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP BY PUSHING HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. HOWEVER, THE ENGINE WAS SURGING AGAINST THE BRAKES. I LOOKED UP INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT FORD DID NOT HAVE A BRAKE PEDAL ACCELERATOR INTERRUPTER ON THIS YEAR'S TRUCK. I CALLED MY FORD DEALER WHO SAID THAT NO ONE HAD REPORTED A SIMILAR PROBLEM TO HIM AND THAT THERE WAS NOT A TSB FROM FORD ON THIS ISSUE. WHEN I ASKED IF HE COULD PUT A BRAKE PEDAL INTERRUPTER ON MY TRUCK, HE SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS POSSIBLE. HE SAID HE WOULD FIND OUT AND CALL ME BACK, BUT NEVER DID. *TR
