Description of the problem | The problem started in 2010, it now has happen three times this year my 2005 ford f-150 supercab has without any warning, either lost all power or the engine was reduced to idle rpm at highway speeds. A total of five times this has happen since i bought the truck. Its happen in all typs of driving, highway speeds, city driving, acceleration and at a steady speed. I have had to maneuver across busy freeway lanes while coasting. In three of the incidents in which the engine stalled, i had to accomplish this without power steering or brakes. In another incident, the engine was idling so p/s and p/b were functioning, but there was no response to throttle inputs for acceleration. The check engine and "wrench" warning lights were illuminated on the dashboard. After turning off the ignition switch, the vehicle re-started and i was able to continue, the wrench light went off after restart, but the check engine light remained illuminated until i have it reset. I been very fortunate that i have not been in an accident. This problem is intermittent and comes with absolutely no warning, it is clearly a safety issue. I now will not let my family drive the truck. |
