| Description of the problem | Driving a 2009 ford f-150 i was just past the grain valley exit eastbound i-70 heading back to columbia. I was in the left hand lane and pressed the accelerator to get past a car in the right hand lane. When i took my foot off the gas, the rpms went way up, as if it were floored, and the truck tried to accelerate. While there was a car in front of me, luckily there wasn't one to my right. I stood on the brakes and swerved to the right. Standing on the brakes i was able to keep the speed between 60-70 mph, i threw on the emergency lights and pulled onto the shoulder. After maybe a hundred yards and throwing on the e-brake and hitting the brakes i was able to slowly bring the speed down at which point i turned the truck off. After waiting a while on the shoulder i turned the truck back on and everything seemed normal, i put the truck into drive and began to slowly press on the accelerator to get back on the highway. It was then that the rpm's again kicked way up and the truck began to try and take off. Luckily i wasn't going very fast and rode the brakes and turned the truck off. I then called a tow truck. There were no injuries. The extent of damage to the truck is unknown as it has not been taken to the dealer yet to get fixed. |
