Reported on July 26, 2013
| WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC I FLOORED THE GAS PEDAL AND ALL POWER WAS LOST ALMOST RESULTING IN A CRASH. THE NEXT TIME WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE TOTAL LOSS OF POWER. UNABLE TO PASS ALMOST REAR ENDED, LUCKILY ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. TODAY NOVEMBER 3RD 2013 9:00 AM TRAVELING 40 MPH ON FLAT GROUND CLEAR SKY ABOUT 45 DEGREES I FLOORED IT AND THE TRUCK DID NOTHING IT DID SHAKE ALITTLE AND I KEPT MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR FOR ABOUT 1/2 A MILE AND IT NEVER REGAINED ANY POWER. THEN I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS EVER CAME ON AND MY FUEL ECONOMY GET WORST EVERY DAY. THE TRUCK FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS DRAGGING IT DOWN ALL THE TIME. POOR FUEL ECONOMY MIXED WITH UNRELIABILITY IS GOING TO EQUAL DISASTER. FORD IS LUCKY NO ONE HAS BEEN HURT OR KILLED YET.THE TRUCK WILL BE TOWED TO THE DEALER IN THE MORNING I SIMPLY WILL NOT RISK MY LIFE WHILE FORD SITS ON THERE THUMBS. FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT!!!! *TR | |
