My truck stalled while entering freeway lanes. I went from 60mph to 10mph and was nearly read ended. The truck finally stalled just as i made it to the shoulder. Two hours later, my truck stalled while doing 40mph on a surface street. I had to pull into a center turn lane to avoid blocking traffic. Fuel was at half a tank. Oil level was good.

Accelerator pedal sticks, there is no rhyme or reason for this problem. This has happened on a few different occasions at different driving speeds. Last time this happened my two children were in the truck as the truck accelerated toward stopped traffic. Thankfully the accelerator let loose before we crashed into other vehicles.

Vehicle was motion. Merging onto interstate 93. Depressed the accelerator to bring the vehicle to highway speed. When i took my foot off the accelerator, the pedal did not come back, but rather was stuck wide open.

This vehicle has the 4.6l 3-valve…

Traveling at 65 mph on the express way, i took my foot off the accelerator and the truck took off, accelerating as if it was being floored!. I hit the brake pedal but the engine still continued to rev itself and accelerate. I thought it might be a stuck floor mat but nothing was in the way. I hit the brake pedal again and popped the gear shifter into neutral. This stopped the engine from revving itself and…

Accelerating on interstate on ramp to merge into traffic. Accelerator stuck and vehicle speed increased. Had to heavily apply brakes to stop, put in neutral, engine continued to rev, shut truck off. About a minute after stopping, a loud pop was heard in cab (accelerator unsticking??). Turned truck on, normal acceleration followed. This was the first and only occurrence. *tr

I was pulling my boat, when coming to a stop, to park the truck, it suddenly accelerated. I had to turn off the key to stop it. I restarted the vehicle and drove around to block and come back to make another stop and it happened again. I again turned off the key. I let the truck set for about an hour and restarted it with no other incidents. I am very afraid it will happen again. Took it back to the ford dealer when…

Just got onthe expressway from the on ramp and had speed up faster due to on-coming traffic not slowing. I stepped on the gas pedal and accelerated. Took my foot off the gas but kept going faster. I used both feet on the brake to slow down but the engine kept accelerating. I took right foot and stomped the gas pedal and released it. That got the pedal unstuck and i returned to a safer speed. I travel the same way to…
