2001 Ford Ford Truck

FORD 2001 EXPEDITION HAS RANDOM PROBLEM WITH UNCONTROLLED THROTTLE SURGE WHEN STOPPING. STARTED OUT HAPPENING ONCE EVERY 2 MONTHS AND HAS DEGRADED TO ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK. DEALER HAS RUN FULL DIAGNOSTICS AND ROAD TESTS BUT CANNOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. SUSPECT BAD COMPUTER BECAUSE MANY THINGS SURGE UP AT THE SAME TIME (SPEEDOMETER, TACK, GAUGES). WITHOUT FOOT ON BRAKE, SURGE WOULD SLAM TRUCK INTO WHATEVER IS IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. *JB

I WAS IN A 2001 FORD ESCAPE THAT CAUGHT ON FIRE ON AUGUST 20, 2005. THE TRUCK BEGAN SMOKING AND ALL OF THE CHECK ENGINE, OIL LIGHTS CAME ON. THEN THE TRUCK STARTING SHUTTING DOWN. THIS WHOLE TIME I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE HIGHWAY. ABOUT 3 WEEKS PRIOR, I COMPLAINED TO MY MOTHER ABOUT MY CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING. I USED IT ON THE HIGHWAY BACK IN FORTH TO COLLEGE. WE NEVER TOOK IT IN ONLY CAUSE A TIME ISSUE. IN THE END, THE TRUCK COMPLETELY BURNED TO THE TRUNK. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY BY MYSELF, AND I HAD TO WATCH MY TRUCK BURN ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED IN JULY OF 2004. *JB

I HAVE A 2001 FORD ESCAPE. BOTH RADIO AND TELEVISION REPORTED ABOUT THE GAS PEDAL STICKING FOR A RECALL. WHEN I CALLED FORD TO REPORT IT, THEY SAID MY VIN # WAS NOT A RECALL. WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO SAY WHAT VIN # HAS A WORKING OR DEFECTIVE ITEM. THE DEFECTIVE PART COULD HAVE BEEN SHIPPED ANYWHERE. MY GAS PEDAL DOES STICK AND I AM UPSET TO THINK THAT NOONE CARES. I HAVE A 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVING. SHE ALSO NOTICES THE PROBLEM. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE IN A SCHOOL ZONE BECAUSE WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL IT WON'T MOVE...IT STICKS, SO YOU HAVE TO PRESS IT WITH MORE FORCE WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO GO FASTER. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. I WOULD APPRECIATE HEARING FROM SOMEONE ON THIS SUBJECT. THANK-YOU. *AK
