2005 Ford F-150 vehicle speed control problems

“TRUCK WAS BOUGHT AND I REPLACED ALL SPARK PLUGS AND EVEN HAD TO REPLACE A CLINOID BECAUSE WAS TOLD THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. ITS NOT... THERE IS A BALL VALVE IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT KEEPS THE TRUCK FROM BUILDING ENOUGH PRESSURE TO BE ABLE TO SHIFT WHICH THROWS A CODE AND SAYS MISFIRE ON 6 BEEN REPLACED TWICE NOW SO CLEARLY NOT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE.. TRUCK FEELS AS IF FIXING TO FIE THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON START FLASHING BUT THROW NO CODES AND YOU CANT SPEED BACK UP BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE YOUR TRUCK IS ABOUT TO DIE AND YOU DON'T WANT TO BLOW YOUR MOTOR.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-150. WHILE REVERSING AT 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND CRASHED INTO THE FRONT OF ONE VEHICLE AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE CRASH SCENE TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.”

“TRUCK BEGAN TICKING VERY LOUDLY, THEN BEGAN A KNOCKING NOISE, AND NOW THE ENGINE SHAKES THE TRUCK WHEN IDLING. CAM PHASERS BROKE APART CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TIMING CHAIN. SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER TO THE ENGINE AS WELL AS INABILITY TO MAINTAIN SPEED WHILE ASCENDING AN INCLINE IS FREQUENT. THE LOSS OF SPEED AND POWER HAS CAUSED US SEVERAL CLOSE-CALL ACCIDENTS. TRUCK WILL SIMPLY NOT ACCELERATE WHILE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. ADDITIONALLY, IT ALSO FEELS LIKE THE TRUCK CANNOT CATCH GEARS WHILE IN MOTION.”

“DRIVING ON INTERSTATE DOING 70 MPH (IN FAST LANE) WHEN TRUCK STOPPED/STALLED AND I GUESS FROM RESEARCH WENT INTO "LIMP MODE". I WAS UNABLE TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, IT JUST SHOOK THREE TIMES EACH OF WHICH SLOWED IT DOWN INCREDIBLY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND A WRENCH SHOWED UP, BUT THE RADIO STILL WORKED. WHILE TRYING TO PULL OVER ALMOST WRECKED (MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND AND I WAS IN FAST LANE). FINALLY ABLE TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD HYSTERICAL, SHUT OFF AND WAITED A MINUTE AND IT STARTED. DROVE REST OF WAY HOME *100 MILES* WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND ABS LIGHT ON. I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE AGAIN. NOT FUN HAVING A VEHICLE STALL/QUIT WHATEVER ON INTERSTATE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC.”
