Description of the problem | I had been driving for about 40 minutes around 35 miles per hr, on a street. I slowed down to change lanes to enter the freeway ramp. Then while the vehicle was in motion, it would began to slow down and lose power. The wrench icon appeared, but was able to steer, around a few feet, into a service station . The vehicle came to a complete stop. I kept the engine running but there was no acceleration. When pressing the accelerator there was no activity. I placed the vehicle in park and turned off the ignition. Maybe one minute later, i restarted the engine. The vehicle started right up. The accelerator worked properly. Instead of entering the freeway i took another route home,which was about 15 miles away. I had the vehicle taken to a ford dealership the next day which was 4/11/2019. After inspecting it,ford stated they could not identify any problems. I have around 76,000 miles on the vehicle. I am very much afraid to drive this vehicle, because of the safety danger that it pose. I am returning it back to ford for further inspection. I did not receive any warning before the vehicle loss acceleration. I would not have been able to avoid a crash, if there would have been the usual traffic or if i would have entered the freeway as planned. |
