2008 FORD F-150. CONSUMER STATES ACCELERATION ISSUES WITH VEHICLE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HE BEGAN EXPERIENCING SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEMS IN EARLY APRIL 2012. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED, HE WAS BACKING DOWN A BOAT RAMP, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. THE CONSUMER HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. FINALLY, HE USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A AN INSPECTION. HOWEVER, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE T DUPLICATE, THE CONSUMERS CONCERN.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION. THE RPM'S SHOT UP, AND TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT WAS AS IF IT HAD SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL. HAD TO PULL OVER ON SIDE OF HIGHWAY, AND TURN THE TRUCK OFF. THIS SEEMED TO RESET THE ISSUE FOR THE TIME BEING. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES. TOOK IT TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS. THE FIRST ONE CLEANED THE MAF SENSOR. THE SECOND DEALERSHIP FLUSHED THE TRANNY AND REPROGRAMMED THE TRUCK. NONE OF THESE SOLUTIONS HAVE WORKED. IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS WEEK WITH MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR. WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT ONTO SHOULDER BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED. HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT AT DEALERSHIP TOMORROW MORNING. THIS IS DANGEROUS! *TR

IT WAS ABOUT 6:00AM WHEN I STARTED MY TRUCK UP AND DROVE TO MY MAIL BOX WHICH WAS ABOUT 300FT FROM MY CARPORT. I HAD BACKED MY TRUCK UNDER THE CARPORT TO REMOVE GROCERYS THE DAY BEFORE, SO I DROVE FORWARD TO THE MAIL BOX AND DROVE BACKWARDS TO PARK MY TRUCK BACK UNDER THE CARPORT,. I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND PRESSED THE BRAKE WHEN THE TRUCK STARTED SPINNING THE TIRES AS THOUGH THE ENGINE WENT TO FULL TROTTLE. I TOOK OF IN REVERSE RAN THRU A TWO FOOT DITCH, OVER MY OUTSIDE AIRCONDITIONER UNIT AND SLAMMED INTO MY BRICK HOME. I HAD APPLIED THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD WITH NO EFFECT. UPON THE IMPACT WITH THE HOUSE I TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF TO STOP THE WHEELS FROM SPINNING . I COULD FINALLY PUT IT IN PARK . *TT

STOP AT GAS STATION AND TURNED TRUCK OFF AND ENTERED STORE. RETURNED TO TRUCK AND CRANKED. PUT IN DRIVE DROVE AROUND STATION TO ENTRANCE OF MAIN HIGHWAY. ABOUT 20 YARDS TO STOP SIGN TO HIGHWAY I WAS GOING ABOUT 5 MPH AND I LIFTED RIGHT FOOT OFF OF GAS PEDAL TO APPLY BRAKE. THE TRUCK SLOWLY STARTED TO SPEED UP. I APPLIED THE BRAKE WITH ONE FOOT AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO APPLY MORE GAS UNTIL I HAD BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE AND PUSHING AS HARD AS POSSIBLE AND IT WAS PUSHING ME TOWARD THE HIGHWAY IN FRONT OF A ONCOMING CAR. THE BACK TIRES STARTED TO SPIN. I PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL THE ENGINE REVVED TO AROUND 6-1/2 RPM BEFORE I COULD TURN THE SWITCH OFF. I SIT THERE FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS WITH ENGINE OFF THEN RESTARTED THE TRUCK AND IT WAS OK.. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON 7/18/2011 WITH A FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE TRUCK LOOKED AT. I HAVE LOOKED OVER YOUR WEB SITE AND THERE HAS BEEN MANY OTHER F 150 TRUCKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IT SEEMS AS MINE. I THINK YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT TALKING TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY ABOUT A POSSIBLE RECALL. I HAVE A 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER THAT SOMETIMES DRIVES MY TRUCK AND THAT WAS THE FIRST THING THAT I THOUGHT OF. WHAT IF SHE HAD BEEN DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED, WOULD SHE HAVE REACTED AS FAST AS I DID BEFORE BEING PUSHED OUT IN FRONT OF THE ONCOMING CAR.. JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.. *KB
