All Vehicle Speed Controlaccelerator Pedal Complaints
I READ AN AP ARTICLE ABOUT THE NHTS INVESTIGATING "STUCK THROTTLES" FROM 2002 AND NEWER FORD EXPLORERS. I HAVE A 2000 XLT EXPLORER, ALL WHEEL DRIVE, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND IT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT USED 3 YEARS AGO. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN ABOUT 4 OR 5 TIMES SINCE PURCHASE AND HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAYS THERE IS NO INFO ON THIS FROM FORD AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. FOR ME, THE STUCK THROTTLE HAS ONLY HAPPENED IN REVERSE AS I AM BACKING UP. THE THROTTLE WILL GO TO FULL THROTTLE BY ITSELF CAUSING THE CAR TO QUICKLY ACCELERATE. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO FIRMLY HIT THE BRAKES WITH ALL MY MIGHT, SHIFT THE GEAR INTO PARK OR SHUT OFF THE CAR. MY POINT IN CONTACTING YOU IS TO MAKE YOU AWARE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM...
WHEN PLACING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE IT WILL NOT MOVE. CONSUMER HAS TO FLOOR THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY DOWN BEFORE IT WILL MOVE.*AK
WHILE THE CONSUMER'S WIFE PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY, THE GAS PEDAL BECAME STUCK AND CAUSED HER TO RUN INTO THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE. THE COLLISION CAUSED $18,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THEIR HOME. SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP 8 TIMES. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THE RPMS REVVED UP CAUSING THE ENGINE TO RACE. THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE TAIL LIGHTS. THE DEALER/MECHANIC STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, SO THEY COULD NOT REPAIR IT. AFTER ALMOST HAVING AN ACCIDENT, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WAS FOUND AND THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. *AK *SCC *JB

CRUISE CONTROL STUCK - DEALER TREATING AS RECALL PER FORD RECALL #99S09 DEALING WITH STICKING CRUISE CONTROL. CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT RELEASE THROTTLE (BRAKES OR OFF SWITCH FOR CRUISE CONTROL) - VEHICLE HAD TO BE PUT INTO NEUTRAL, STOPPED AND THEN ENGINE STOPPED. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY FATAL DESIGN ERROR. THE CRUISE CONTROL SERVO NEEDS TO RELINQUISH CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE THROTTLE ONCE BRAKES OR OFF SWITCH ENGAGED. IT SEEMS TO BE A RE-OCCURENCE OF THE PREVIOUS PROBLEM OR AN EXTENSION OF THE PREVIOUS PROBLEM. VEHICLE BUILD DATE WAS 12/06/00, PER DEALER.*AK

ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD STICK WHEN APPLYING FUEL. THIS PROBLEM ONLY HAPPENS AFTER STOPPING FOR A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. WILL BE TAKING VEHICLE TO DEALER TO CHECK. *AK
