Description of the problem | 2005 f350 superduty powerstroke 6. 0 diesel with 53,000 miles continued to accelerate without operator control nearly causing rear-end collision while driving. Operator completed a turn and accelerated to the speed limit and when operator released the throttle the vehicle "took off" as if the accelerator had been depressed again. Operator came close to rear ending a passenger car in front of the operator so the operator immediately applied brakes and pulled out of traffic while truck continued attempt to acelerate. While truck was reving at high rpm operator put vehicle in "park" position and turned key to off shutting down engine completly. Engine restarted and continue to operate normally and contacted and delivered vehicle to the servicing ford dealership. Operator states that the vehicle had prior "failure to shut down" and "failure to decel" issues but no "diagnostic code" was established for dealer to use as with possible current event. |
