| Description of the problem | While driving my 2015 ford f-150 pickup truck at different speeds of 5 to 70 mph the vehicles throttle becomes inoperable. When this occurs the engine continues to run at a low idle however it is a very rough idle as if the engine has a severe ignition misfire condition. Furthermore, the dash starts to cycle through multiple fault/trouble displays. These include "hill descent control fault", "service advance track", "see manual (w/ wrench symbol)"; also the airbag light is illuminated. When this occurs i have to coast to the side of the freeway or busy city street bringing the vehicle to a stop. Once stopped, with emergency flashers on, i have to turn the ignition off and restart the vehicle. In some instances i've had to restart the vehicle more than once to successfully achieve a smooth running engine. I must then press the "ok" button on the steering wheel to stop the dash from displaying the fault/trouble messages. I can then drive on with an operable throttle and properly running engine. This condition has happened multiple times at various speeds without warning and presents a potentially dangerous driving condition! |
