| Description of the problem | On sun jan 3, 2009 at 7:20 a. M. I was driving to work in my ford f-150 2009 4x4 pick up truck, when the pedal accelerated from 55 mph to 80 mph on its own. The pedal left my foot as if i had cruise control. I don't i attempted to get the vehicle to stop i could not. I doubled down on the brakes while pumping the gas pedal and eventually the gas pedal released. The day was clear weather conditions and the temp was very cold. I was driving on a one lane divided highway and i had a vehicle in front of me. I was terrified!! I took my vehicle back to the dealer prince frederick, md ford dealership and left it for the day. The result: they were unable to duplicate the action come pick up your vehicle. So if i die my parents have it in writing that ford was unable to duplicate the action. I felt great about this. My truck was purchased nov 7, 2009 http://www. F150online. Com/forums/2009-2010-f-150/395891-sticking-throttle. Html you can visit the above link and see this is not a rare problem never heard of before as i was informed by my dealership. Good luck! |
