Description of the problem | I purchased a 2005 ford f150 (lobo edition) in san antonio texas in june 2005. We picked it up a week later so they could install a bedliner. On the way home i came to a stoplight,pressed the brake, and the truck started reving(like i was pressing the gas too!) so i was at the red light and had my foot on the brake and the truck was acting like it wanted to take off! My husband drove it and it happened to him 3 times(the first time i was with him). While my husband was coming to a stop, the truck accelerated (while he had his foot on the brake!) he almost drove completely into a ditch. The last time it happened he was in reverse with his foot on the brake. We called ford and they picked it up and took it to the nearest service center. The truck only has 80 miles on it. The ford service manager in uvalde texas called me yesterday and said they cannot reproduce the problem so they don't know how to fix it. |
