Problems with 2005 Ford F-150 VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 ford f-150. while reversing at 50 mph, the vehicle accelerated on its own and crashed into the front of one vehicle and the driver's side of another vehicle. the air bags failed to deploy. there were no injuries and a police report was filed. the vehicle was towed from the crash scene to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 78,000.

Truck began ticking very loudly, then began a knocking noise, and now the engine shakes the truck when idling. cam phasers broke apart causing damage to the timing chain. sudden loss of power to the engine as well as inability to maintain speed while ascending an incline is frequent. the loss of speed and power has caused us several close-call accidents. truck will simply not accelerate while pressing the gas pedal. additionally, it also feels like the truck cannot catch gears while in motion.

Truck was bought and i replaced all spark plugs and even had to replace a clinoid because was told that was the problem. its not... there is a ball valve in the transmission that keeps the truck from building enough pressure to be able to shift which throws a code and says misfire on 6 been replaced twice now so clearly not the problem. this is a major issue.. truck feels as if fixing to fie then check engine light will come on start flashing but throw no codes and you cant speed back up because it feels like your truck is about to die and you don't want to blow your motor.

Driving on interstate doing 70 mph (in fast lane) when truck stopped/stalled and i guess from research went into "limp mode". i was unable to press the gas pedal, it just shook three times each of which slowed it down incredibly, the check engine light was on and a wrench showed up, but the radio still worked. while trying to pull over almost wrecked (memorial day weekend and i was in fast lane). finally able to pull over to side of road hysterical, shut off and waited a minute and it started. drove rest of way home *100 miles* with check engine light on and abs light on. i am scared to death to drive again. not fun having a vehicle stall/quit whatever on interstate in rush hour traffic.

I purchases a used 2005 ford f150 about 5 months ago. today, feb 28, 2014, i was leaving my neighborhood and my trucks display flashed an message reading "engine failsafe mode". my truck lost all power, no steering and died. luckily i was on surface streets and pulled it over with no power steering and engine dead. the mechanics cannot find the cause and the engine will start but continues to turn off and the vehicle's computer shuts down. online i read of this happening on the freeway at 65 mph. iam now terrified that my truck will shut off on the freeway with my children in the truck with me. this seems to be a life threatening problem. i called a ford dealership and the service dept claimed they never heard of this but can work on it if i bring it in. what is my recourse? thank you. *tr

While approaching a stop during a heavy rain shower i brought the vehicle to a complete stop about 10 feet from the vehicle in front of me. suddenly, the vehicle accelerated forward. i pressed harder on the brake and the vehicle jerked and shuddered violently. my first thought was that i was struck from behind by another vehicle. i was issued a violation from louisiana state police for following too closely. my belief is that the shuddering was the effect of the anti lock brakes activating. the damage to both vehicles was relatively minor. the vehicle was checked for a defect but none could be found.

I was driving on a residential street (gray st. )approaching a busy two lane street that was one way heading south (armenia avenue) in tampa, florida. as i was approaching the stop sign, my foot was on the brake. preparing to stop, but instead of stopping the engine revved and accelerated into the lanes of traffic traveling south. i was standing on the brake so hard that my leg was shaking when i finally stopped. i stopped the vehicle by depressing the emergency brake and the rpm's finally came down and the engine returned to normal. i was so nervous because if there had been cars coming i would have been hit on the driver's side. the street is usually very heavy with traffic. i was very lucky that there was no one close or i may not be writing this today. a few days later i came to the same corner and a bicyclist crossed right in front of me. if this had happened on april 12th, i would have run over the bicyclist. i drove around the block very slowly continuing to ...

On three separate occasions, my ford 2005 f150 king ranch supercrew 4x4 engine suddenly died while driving at approximately 55-60mph. on all three occasions, i fortunately was able to pull over to the side of the road with the engine died and no power steering. if i had not been in the right hand lane and able to pull off of the road, then an rear engine collision would more than likely occurred if i would have been in an outer lane of a multiple lane highway. after the third occasion this past week, i took the vehicle to the ford dealership in rockwall, texas where it cost me $700.00 to have throttle body/motor assembly replaced. my obd readings at home were p2104 and p2112. if not already, this issue is a fatally waiting to happen. lots of chatter on internet of similar issues. *tr

Warning light: engine fail safe on i was forced to coast to a stop and turn off the vehicle. i restarted the vehicle clearing the warning and continued on. i took the vehicle to a local ford dealer where it was determined i needed to replace the throttle body and throttle position sensor.
