2010 Ford F-150

ON 02/25/10 MY P/U HAD 2214 MILES, I COMPLAINED OF CLUNKY SHIFTING GEAR HUNTING AND 2 SECOND HESITATION WHEN PUSH ACCELERATOR DOWN FOR PASSING. FORD ,DIAGNOSIS EVERY THING NORMAL. I AM LIVING WITH THIS NIGHTMARE. I HAVE BEEN PROFESSIONAL DRIVER SINCE 1976. 02/26/11 BACK INTO FORD WITH CLUNKY TRAN. AND 2 SECOND HESITATION WHEN PASSING AT 50 MPH. FOUND NO PROBLEM. 02/02/11 BACK INTO FORD SAME SYMPTOMS TOLD THEM I WANT TO RIDE WITH TECH. DID NOT ALLOW RIDE WITH TECH SERVICE WRITER AND SERVICE MGR. SAID THEY EXPERIENCED MY PROBLEM. TOLD ME COME BACK WHEN TRANS. TECH AVAILABLE. THEN WROTE MY INVOICE TO READ UNABLE TO DUPLICATE? FORD I BELIEVE HAS ISSUED TALKING POINTS TO ALL LOCATIONS TO COVER UP THE FACT THAT THERE IS PROBLEM! THIS IS SERIOUS BECAUSE MANY TIMES IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION YOU ACCELERATE INSTEAD OF BRAKE. SO WHEN YOU GO TO ACCELERATE AND HAVE A 2 SECOND DELAY IN PEDAL PUSH DOWN TO WHEN THE COMPUTER READS WHAT TO DO AND GIVES YOU PASSING GEAR YOU COULD BE RUN OVER! PLEASE HELP MY VEHICLE LISTED FOR 46,000 PLUS PAID 40,000 FOR IT. CONSUMERS IN AMERICA SHOULD NOT GET FLEECED LIKE THIS WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES. THANK YOU, HOW IRONIC I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A CHEVY GUY UNTIL THIS NIGHTMARE! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 72 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND BEGAN TO FISHTAIL. THE CONTACT REALIZED THAT THE WHEELS WERE LOCKED SO HE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND ALLOWED THE VEHICLE IT TO ROLL TO A STOP.

THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 12,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

AFTER PASSING A VEHICLE MY TRUCK DID NOT SLOW DOWN BUT SPED UP. MY FOOT WAS OFF THE PEDAL AND I PICKED UP SPEED FROM 45 TO 70. RPM'S WERE VERY HIGH AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP IT. I PUSHED THE ACCELERATORS PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES VERIFYING IT WAS NOT STUCK. I THEN SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND CAME TO A STOP. RPM'S WENT FROM 5K PLUS TO 4K IN NEUTRAL SITTING STILL. THE RPM'S CONTINUED AT 4K UNTIL I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. *TR
