Description of the problem | My wife was driving to work when the vehicle loss power at the accelerator pedal, the truck was running but when she tried to depress the accelerator pedal nothing, she said on the dash it said that the vehicle was running in a fail safe mode. She safely made it to a area where she pulled the operators manual out and begin reading. The only fail safe mode she found was about the cooling, the temperature was fine, she called me i told her to turn the vehicle off then restart it she did and it ran fine. I had the vehicle in for a recall for the breaks i ask the dealer to run a diagnostics on it to see about what had happened, also it a had repeated the problem a couple days in a row but only did it in the morning after 20 minutes of driving. The dealer could not find anything wrong with the truck, no codes were showing any issue. The tech said he ran through the system but found nothing he said he reset the computer if it did it again to bring it to the dealer. It did it a couple more times i took it to my mechanic he said it wasn't showing any codes either. I contacted ford consumer with the issue telling them i just wanted it fixed they said the dealer could not find any code faults and could not repeat it so they ford could not fix it. My mechanic said that he had the same issue with another 2005 ford 150 truck he said it was a problem with the electronic accelerator. I'm afraid it's going to do it again and my wife won't be able to prevent getting rear-ended. Also ford consumer said they didn't show any issues with the accelerator on this vehicle, i know this isn't true by what i've read here on this web site. Please help... |
