The accelerator stops working and you have to coast to the side of the road and turn the car off. The orange wrench light comes on. This has happened about 15 times over the last 3 months. It has been very unsafe and concerning,…

My 2005 ford f-150 stalled while driving at 30 mph. Accelerator had no response and truck went to idle rpm. Had to coast to the side of the road on a busy street. I consider this very dangerous especially if it happened under different circumstances such as entering an intersection. The dealership fixed it and said it was a problem with the electronic throttle system. *tr
