| Upon pressing the brake, at any speed, the vehicle completely shuts off. this has caused me to be nearly rear-ended on several occasions. it happens without notice, and is becoming more consistent. i took it to the dealership, as there were recalls on my vehicle, but they said while that is a problem for my make and model, it was in fact not one of the recalls to be performed. i had two recalls performed, neither of which helped this problem at all. it leaves me halted in intersections, and makes for abrupt stops, as i have to completely brake to a full and complete stop, throw the truck into park, turn the key off, wait a moment, turn the key back on, and back into drive. | |||

| Vehicle has begun to accelerate unexpectedly since early september. there has been at least four incidents involving vehicle suddenly accelerating when its was at low speed or stopped (with foot on the brake). the accelerations last a few seconds and lurch the car forward. the vehicle has been taken to ford for the recall notices involving the cruise control cable (11s24b on 30 june 12 and 12s37b on 20 sep 12). this vehicle did not experience this problem prior to the recall repairs. *tr | |||

| While driving at normal speeds on ice-glazed winter roads in fairbanks, ak, i approached an intersection and took my foot off the accelerator to prepare to slow down. instead of dropping to idle speeds, the engine accelerated up to 3500-4000 rpm. i shifted the automatic transmission to neutral and was able to stop the car with the brakes, but the engine continued to race at high-throttle until i shut off the engine. when i restarted the engine it behaved normally for several days; but the problem came back intermittently several times over the next several weeks; and every time, shutting off the engine was the only way to stop it. ford's database showed my car had undergone a recall in 2005 to fix a similar problem. in january 2012, stanley ford in kenai, ak 'supposedly' replaced the throttle cable and throttle body assembly for $572, but it didn't solve the problem. the uncontrolled acceleration occurred several more times, as before, until a second repair in february 2012 by seekins ford in fairbanks, which replaced a pcv and tubing, and did a complete tune-up for $992. since then, there have been no more issues with the accelerator. *tr | |||
