So no fuel going to the feul injectors or to the key to start the vehical. Still have head lights and breaks and radio. Just no way to restart the vehical. They checked thw wires and after unplugging many wires to the fuel system and retesting it started. Left with the truck a day later the same thing happen but this time i had to jump a curb to avoid an accident and coasted into a parking lot. I got out and wiggled a few of the wires and the truck started back up. I made it back to where i was staying only 2 blocks up the road and it died in the parking lot in a stall. That has been over 3 weeks and cant find the parts to fix it even by talking to ford shops.

“HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK BOUGHT NEW, 2005. HAVE USED SPARINGLY ONLY 15K + MILES. OVER THE YEARS I HAVE EXPERIANCED A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS WHEN IT TRIED TO ACCELLERATE WHEN I WENT TO BRAKE. FIRST THOUGHT IT A QUIRK OR FLOOR MATS. RECENTLY NEARLY TRASHED A PARKED CAR WHILE BACKING ITO A PARKING SPACE. CONTINUED TO ACCELLERATE DISPITE STANDING ON BRAKE. THERE IS NO LONGER ANY DOUBT THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH SUA, SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELLERATION, THAT FORD HAS NEVER ADMITTED. I HAVE MADE SURE I AM OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND THE FLOOR MAT HAS BEEN REMOVED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE!”

IT IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN TOWING A TRAILER MY WIFE HAS ALMOST GOT INTO ACCIDENTS A COUPLE OF TIMES WHILE TOWING A HORSE TRAILER AND IS NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TRUCK. SPOKE TO FORD BUT NO REAL RESPONSE. I THINK THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT FURTHER ESPECIALLY WHEN CONSIDERING PEOPLE DO TOW WITH THEIR TRUCKS AND IT AMPLIFIES THIS ISSUE. THANKS MARIO .”
