My vehicle simply stalled without warning while i was traveling on the highway, twice. After a small cool down period, the vehicle started up again and seemed fine till a few days later when it happened again on the highway. According to ford, this is a very common problem with a fuse that controls the fuel pump. It overheats and fails causing the fuel pump to stop working. They also have a $20 kit to fix the…

While passing a slow moving vehicle the throttle stuck and although no pressure was on the gas pedal, it kept accelerating. By heavy use of the brake, i was able to return to town, where i shut the engine down. It is still locked on, as when i start it, the rpm's jump to 4000 immediately. I have called the ford dealership and requested a tow. This was frightening, as i had my grandson in the vehicle with me.

This has occurred many times. The vehicle stalls when slowing down due to the fuel pump inside the fuel tank getting bent upward due to the tank collapsing on itself because it is not designed to vent properly. I have already replaced the fuel pump but it only corrected the problem temporarily because it has been bent as well over a short period of time. The gas gauge reads improperly as well due to the pump not…

Slowing to make a right turn, the engine fell dead. I was able to start it and pull out of traffic before it fell dead again. Numerous times after i fill up, the engine was hard to start. It sputtered and stalled and finally started. I took the vehicle to the dealership service department but they were unable to find anything wrong. This happens without warning and could cause crashes if not repaired.

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…

No problems until about 60,000 miles. Then one day, while stopped, the truck suddenly died, the check engine light came on, and the gas gauge would indicated a quarter tank when the tank was actually full. All of this happened at the same time. I had two oxygen sensors replaced (about $400) to clear the check engine light and the fuel pump replaced (about $700) on the recommendation of the ford service department to…
