Description of the problem | The truck continued to accelerate uncontrollably after i got it back from dealer. I brought it back to the dealer on feb 22nd. The dealership determined that there was a problem with the thottle body. Although, they will not fix it because "ford doesn't know how to fix it" according to tom glansman at saxon ford. This problem is extremely dangerous, the brake fail to stop the truck when it has this problem. Only turning off the engine can stop the truck, which compromises the brake and steering systems. Ford will not fix the problem.*ak |
