| Description of the problem | My 2004 ford 250 4 x 4 is surging (taking off) when i am not accelerating the engine. It does this at various speeds. The dealership has tried several fixes and even called their own hotline. Nothing is working to fix the problem. I am at times sitting a red signal light ant the truck wants to take off. My foot was firmly suppressed upon the brake pedal. I travel down a residential street, going at speeds between 25 and 40 miles per hour, and my truck surges forward as though i depressed the accelerator. I did not depressed the accelerator. I can be going speeds between 25 and 75 miles per hour on the highway, whether in stop and go or continuous speed, and the truck surges without the command of my foot on the accelerator. The rpm needle jumps suddenly as well when this occurs. If i am repeating myself, it is because i am very concern for my safety as well as any passengers and the other drivers on the road with me when this problem occurs. I have gone to various website forums and i am seeing other owners complain of the same thing, but ford is not fixing the safety issue. *nm |
