| I noticed i did not have passing gear so i depressed the accelerator and could not stop the vehicle. considering that you have had reports on this problem since 1990 (re:odi id:402614) and considering that i could have lost control of my vehicle and killed someone and myself, i think ford should issue a recall and compenste me for the new throttle box i had installed (295.56). by the way, the mechanic who tested my truck said he thought he was going to die because he had a hard time stopping the truck even after being briefed about the problem.*ak | |||
