 I was driving down the highway towing a trailer weighing about 4, 000 lbs. we were travling approx 45mph when the truck had no throttle response and stalled. after stopping at a major intersection i had to call 911 because i was blocking traffic. they had to call a tow truck capable of towing truck and trailer out of the intersection. after the tow bill and local ford dealer sinking their teeth into me the total was $518. ## vin failed ##

 I returned my ford f-150 to the dealership for the third time to correct the problem with the brake pedal traveling past the accelerator pedal during normal braking. ford is not recognizing the problem and the dealership sales manager acknowledges he has replicated the problem intermittently; however, because ford refuses to acknowledge the problem there is nothing they can do. i have seen this problem reported in other cases on the nhtsa website, and i believe it is time for nhtsa to investigate before deaths are reported from braking/accelerating through stop signs/lights and hitting or being hit by someone. i believe the problem is somehow also related to the front brake rotors warping within a short period of time (20k - 30k miles). *tr

 After replacing the front brake rotors and brake pads during 8/07/10 - 8/10/10 to try and alleviate a problem with the brake pedal traveling past the accelerator when braking (normal braking), i had to return to the dealership with the same problem. it is a safety issue as i cannot allow anyone else to drive the truck who is not familiar with the problem. the dealership kept the vehicle from 8/11/10 through 8/25/10 with the service manager driving it every day to and from work to see if the problem could be replicated. the service manager said he noticed the same problem with the brake pedal going past the accelerator with normal braking; however, did not happen everytime. i agreed with that. after the service manager called the factory representative to discuss the problem, the factory representative said there is not a known problem and the braking system was within specifications. i was told by my dealership that ford does not recognize the problem and they could not resolve the issue for me. it appears to be a design problem, as i drove several 2007 and 2008 f-150's that the dealership had on the lot. each one of them had the problem i noted above. the 2009 f-150 does not have the braking problem i found out when i test drove one. the service manager at my dealership told me that the entire braking system was re-designed for the 2009 model year. *tr

 I was driving down a township road and my truck just shut off with no warning and would not start again had to get it towed luckly i wasn't on a bigger road or else it could have been a serious accident didn't know my truck just shut down in the middle of the road at first. it ended up being the fuel pump driver module which was put right on the frame and it causes corrosion if the part is that important to where it just makes your truck shut off it shouldn't be where it is. i feel these should be recalled before there is a serious accident.

 Took to dealer for check engine lite. they found fpcm ready to crack in half. told me i was lucky the truck made it to the shop. excessive corrosion between frame and module result of a very poor design. not covered by warranty. should be a recall. they claim their replacing 2 to 3 a week. this dealer didn't even put upgrade spacer bolts on. here i thought they were helping me!
