Ford F-150 Fuel/propulsion System Safety Report | Aug 18, 2013
Reported on Aug 18, 2013
| WHEN RETURNING FROM CULLOWEE, NC, I WAS ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP OF I-40 EAST. AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO INCREASE TO HIGHWAY SPEED. THE ENGINE STARTED SPUTTERING AND THE ENTIRE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE NEVER GAINED SPEED UNTIL I LET OF THE ACCELERATOR COMPLETELY AND SLOWLY APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN. THE VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE VEHICLE AND THE RESULTING DANGEROUS MERGE INTO TRAFFIC TERRIFIED MY WIFE, CHILD AND GRANDCHILD. *TR | |
