| 1/1/10 isn't the first smog-out, but definitely the worst & most dangerous. while decending from the top of the mountain in gatlinburg in bumper to bumper traffic where it took 45-60 mins to go 2 miles, the exhaust cleaning was blowing suffocating and blinding blue smoke continuously. then going through town where people are walking up & down beside the road (still in bumper to bumper traffic) it was still smogging the people walking and people driving behind me could not see. if a motorcycle or person ended up beside us when we had to stop for traffic lights, they would have been severely burned. it continued to clean down to pigeon forge for a total of 1-1/2 to 2 hours. ford engineer was supposed to recalibrate to make sure it didn't clean if under 35 mph, but it does it all the time, sometimes day after day for hours. | |||

| 2008 ford f-250xl, 5.4l, auto. engine runaway. while stopped at a stop sign the engine increased it's speed dramatically on it's own. even with the brakes fully applied the vehicle still moved into a 4 way intersection. i shifted to neutral and the rpm's increased even more before the engine returned to normal operation. 10 minutes later i started the vehicle at my bank and placed the transmission in rev. the engine again rapidly increased the rpm's and i barely kept the vehicle from rocketing away backwards by holding my foot fully on the brake. i tried neutral but the rpm's surged even higher so i had to turn off the ignition. i restarted the vehicle and it operated normally on my trip home. the truck has a rubber floor and no mats. my foot was definitely on one pedal at a time. these malfunctions were totally out of the blue and very dangerous. someone could have been injured or killed. | |||

| While driving on a local highway at approximately 60mph, the truck instantly took off, the tachometer went to between 5500 & 6000 rpm, and speed increased tremendously to almost 90mph. i tapped on the accelerator pedal and the brake to try to interrupt what was occuring. i placed the vehicle in neutral, where the rpms dropped to 3000. i turned the truck off in hopes of resetting whatever had just occured. when i started the truck back up, it immediately began doing what it was doing before. i placed the truck into drive and attempted to get out of the roadway. at this time, everything returned to normal. i took the truck to the local dealership (university ford, durham nc). they determined within 40 minutes that it was the floor mat. however, i have tried for more than an hour today to recreate a floor mat accelerator sticking without success. i have also been unable to recreate the maximum rpms that i experienced with my foot in a norlmal driving position. this is the first and only occurence, but i do not agree that it was a floor mat problem or that my issue was taken seriously. the service rep (kenneth) advised that the truck did not provide any computer codes indicating a problem, so there was definitely nothing wrong with the truck other than the floor mat being out of position. | |||
