| 2011 | POWER TRAIN | I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 55 MPH. THE WRENCH (MECHANICAL) WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE RPMS DROPPED. I STEERED THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. I PARKED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT NO LONGER ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED AND DECREASED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT IDLE. I HAVE DROPPED OFF THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO GET THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED. I HAD ANOTHER ISSUE ON OR ABOUT 16 MAY 2013. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A FOUR LANE ROAD IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT A SPEED OF 45 MPH. I WAS ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE UP HILL. THE RPMS ON THE ENGINE SURGED AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO ABOUT 65 MPH. THE VEHICLE SPEED CONTINUED TO INCREASE. I QUICKLY REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR. THE RPMS DID NOT DECREASE WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR. I HAD TO BRAKE WITH MY LEFT FOOT AND TAP ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WITH MY RIGHT FOOT IN ORDER TO GET THE ACCELERATOR UNSTUCK. I ALMOST REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE AND WAS LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO GET THE ACCELERATOR UNSTUCK BEFORE I REACHED A RED LIGHT AND WOULD NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO DRIVE FINE WITHOUT FURTHER INSTANCES UNTIL TODAY. *TR |
