Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 45 MPH, ALL OF A SUDDEN ADVANCE TRACK SERVICE WARNING APPEARED, HILL DESCENT OFF, AND TRUCK LOST ALL POWER AND BEGAN TO IDEA ROUGHLY, COULD NOT ACCELERATE, WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. FORTUNATELY I HAVE A MECHANICAL BACKGROUND, TURNED OFF IGNITION WAITED A MINUTE AND TRIED TO RESTART THE TRUCK, CRANKED HARDER THAN NORMAL, ENGINE SERVICE LITE WAS ON, TURNED OFF ADVANCE TRACK AND WENT A FEW MILES AND HAPPENED AGAIN. WENT THROUGH SAME STEPS AND RESTARTED VEHICLE, WAS ABLE TO DRIVE 10 MILES TO HOME. WHEN I STARTED THE TRUCK THIS MORNING THE ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT WAS OFF, WENT A FEW MILES AND SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS IS A DEFINITE SERIOUS ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. IF YOU ARE ON AN INTERSTATE GO 70 MPH IN TRAFFIC AND THIS WOULD HAPPEN MOST PEOPLE WOULD NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. DOING SOME ONLINE SEARCHING THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT FORD HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS , IT MUST TAKE LOSS OF LIFE BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED
