Consumer Description

THIS 2004 FORD F 150 THAT I HAVE DRIVEN SINCE NEW AS I AM ABOUT TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC TO GET ON THE XWAY BEGAN TO REV UP ENGINE . I REMOVE MY FOOT AWAY FROM THE GAS TO SEE THAT THE %$#&* IS GOING ON. PAT THE GAS THINKING " STUCK" STILL REVING UP NOW I AM OVER 60. I USE MY HEELS TO SEE IF MAT OR SOME OBJECT MAY HAVE FALL DOWN. NO ! I PULL OVER IN BETWEEN SOME YELLOW CONE ..WITH ALL THE STRENGTH I COULD PUT ON BRAKES. WITH FOOT STILL ON BRAKE AND ENGINE RPM IN RED I AM THINKING " WHAT THE NEXT THING TO DO " THIS TRUCK IS NOT COMING DOWN TO IDLING . COME TO ME " FOOL PUT IN NEUTRAL ". I DID . STILL RPM IN RED. I AM THINKING " TURN OFF IGNITION" . BUT AT HE SAME TIME THINKING CAN YOU . IT WORKED. I PLACED THE TRUCK IN PARK THEN CRANKED UP AND DROVE OF BUT I CAN NOT WAIT TO HAVE THIS F 150 TAKEN IN. I FLY A TURBO PROP AND AS A STUDENT PILOT I NEVER WISH THIS ON ANY ONE IN AIR OR ON THE GROUND....ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN !! I AM THINKING BACK SEVERAL DECADES AGO SUCH WAS BIG IN THE NEWS. PERSONAL WITH A 1983 380 SL TOOK ME THROUGH THIS BUT THE ACCELERATION WAS MUCH SLOWER BUT NEVER AT SUCH A FRIGHTING SPEED
