| Description of the problem | The first time the incident happen i was driving about 30 mph on a bright sunny day about 70 degrees out. I tried to go around a car and when pressed the accelerator the vehicle kind of stalled and shook, did not accelerate at all. I let off the pedal and tried again and it accelerated fine. There wasn't much danger involved in this mishap as the other driver and i were the only 2 vehicles on the road for a fare amount of distance. The second time this happened is what really worried me. I was leaving a gas station preparing to cross a 4 lane highway with a speed limit of 55 mph. This time it was morning about 65 degrees and sunny, i rolled up to the intersection and when an opportunity to cross was presented i pressed on the accelerator and the vehicle shook pretty bad and the engine about died. I hit the brake and the engine worked itself out of the shake. That's when i realized this issue is life threatening. If i would have pressed the accelerator and the vehicle brought me to the center of the highway and stalled there is a very good chance i could have been t-boned! And to top it off another issue i have been having with my 2013 ford f-150 platinum is the bluetooth is rarely capable of syncing to my iphone, so i were to be t-boned the vehicle would have been incapable of utilizing its 911 assist feature and the injured involved in the accident would have to rely on a witness dialing 911. |
