| Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) i was driving my ford ranger, (2001 xlt automatic transmission) in an attempt to warm up the truck as the transmission had been acting up as it was not shifting as well as it should into higher gears. the truck was having trouble going past 10-15 mph before shifting gears and was going much slower than normal. as i drove around the parking lot where i work to warm up the truck, it was not going as fast as normal and it warmed up in about 20 minutes. i checked the transmission fluid and it was at a normal level. i turned off the truck and checked the oil which was in the normal range. i proceeded to go to qt and get some gas and on my way back to work, i went to stop at a red light and was almost stopped when the engine started revving up and took off at a very high rate of speed while my foot was pushing the brake pedal down as hard as i could. i then could not slow it down at the next light enough to make the right turn safely. i had to make a u turn with both feet on the brakes and after putting the truck in neutral and pushing the emergency brake, i had to put the truck into neutral and cut off the engine to turn into the parking lot where i work. i thought maybe i had hit the accelerator by accident and had a co-worker watch as i cranked up the truck in neutral. the tires were spinning like crazy and the rpms were way up. i had to turn the car off quickly as with the parking brake on and both feet on the brakes, it felt like the truck was going to take off at any time. my truck is parked with the check engine light on and i am scared to get near the [xxx] thing. i have a call into my mechanic now. *tr | |||

| Ford 2001 ranger was notified august 2007 of a safety defect with the speed control wiring. i went to my dealer, and was told the new wiring harness was not available, but the existing wiring was unplugged, which would disable the cruise control, & the new harness would be available in november. immediately, after the dealer unplugged the speed control deactivation switch (scds), there was a fault light for the brake anti-lock system. i went back to the service department and ask why, & was told there was no connection to the speed control sensor. they said they 'fixed' the problem, and i drove home. in less than two miles the anti-lock brake light came back on. the next morning, the light came on twice while driving to and from work. again the dealer said it was not related to the speed control problem. however, i have visited several web sites where many other people are also having the identical problem, which only started when the scds was disconnected, while waiting for their new wiring harness. when this warning light is on, the anti-lock brake system does not work. when i reconnected the scds, the warning light does not turn on and the anti-lock system works normally. i have called the dealer about this problem, and to ask when i can get the new wiring harness installed. i am being told the two problems are not related, and that there are not enough new harness kits available. i choose to have better brakes every day, so i have reconnected the scds until i can get the new wiring harness installed. how many other people are doing the same thing? how long is reasonable for ford to delay getting the new harness installed? *tr | |||
