Ford F-150 Power Train Safety Report | Mar 07, 2014
Reported on Mar 07, 2014
| WHILE ENTERING TRAFFIC, FORM A STANDING START, THE TRUCK ACCELERATED FINE UNTIL SUCH TIME AS IT REACHED APPROXIMATELY 65 KLM/HR. OR APPROX. 40 MILES PER HOUR, WHEREIN IT LOST POWER DRAMATICALLY. IT DID NOT STALL, OR LOSE POWER STEERING, OR BRAKES, BUT THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO POWER WHATSOEVER TO THE DRIVE TRAIN. NONE.THIS HAPPENED ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY, WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 80 KLM/HR. OR 45 MILES PER HOUR. THERE HAD BEEN ON COMING TRAFFIC HEADED WEST, AND I WAS TURNING EAST, A LEFT TURN. THE ON COMING TRAFFIC WAS A WAYS AWAY, SO I HAD LOTS OF TIME AS FAR AS THE EAST BOUND TRAFFIC WAS CONCERNED, BUT UPON MAKING THE EAST BOUND LANE THE TRUCK LOST POWER. THERE WAS A SEMI BEARING DOWN ON ME HEADED EAST, SO I LEFT THE ROAD. THE SEMI PASSED ME WITHOUT INCIDENT, BUT JUST BARELY. ONCE AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I NOTICED A WRENCH ICON ON THE DASH. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, TURNED IT BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ON. I LIVE IN ONTARIO, CANADA. I HAVE USED MY SISTER'S ADDRESS FOR YOUR FORM. I HOPE YOU DO NOT MIND? | |
