Description of the problem | 2005 ford f150, 5. 4 v-8 engine, 59,000 miles incident 1) 02/7/10 - upon accelerating away from a stop light while turning left, the truck accelerator pedal became inactive. Truck was moving at 25-30 mph. Additional pressure applied to the pedal caused no acceleration. Light traffic allowed me to coast to shoulder where i was able to put the truck in park. Truck faulted into 'limp mode' that limits the accelerator pedal operation (per manual), this was indicated by the 'wrench' light on the dash, no check engine light appeared. Turned the ignition off, waited a ~15 seconds and restarted. Upon restart 'wrench' light cleared and accelerator functioned as prior, again no check engine light appeared. Incident 2) 02/12/10 - while driving on a federal highway at 55 mph in right lane the same sequence as incident one above occurred ? The truck accelerator pedal became inactive. Being in the right-most lane i was able to coast on to the shoulder and avoid a rear-end collision. Same ? Wrench? Light was indicated on dash, same sequence was used to restart and drive off. This obviously could have been much worse had the situation been different, i. E. In high-speed lane or heavier traffic patterns. This is certainly a safety concern for driving public, both those in the f150 and on the road around them. Almost identical instances can be seen on nhtsa site for exact make/model/year truck. Administration should investigate and consider a safety recall to avoid future damage. |
