ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
MY TRUCK HAS 15,000 MILES ON IT. THE ACCELERATION WILL RUN AWAY FREQUENTLY (PRESS THE PEDAL AND THERE IS A SEVERE LAG AND LACK OF POWER). THERE WILL BE RANDOM ENGINE NOISE WHEN DECELERATING AROUND 45 MILES PER HOUR. ALSO, ACCELERATION WILL BE ROUGH WHEN GOING FROM 20-30 MILES PER HOUR JUST BEFORE THE IT SHIFTS INTO A HIGHER GEAR. I TOOK THIS TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES ON THE TRUCKS COMPUTER SYSTEM. ALSO, THE STEERING WILL BE STIFF OR UNALIGNED AT RANDOM TIMES. PLEASE ASSIST IN GETTING THESE ISSUES CORRECTED.

ENGINE
THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE AUTOMATIC ENGINE SHUT OFF ENGAGE. WHEN THE BRAKE WAS RELEASE THE ENGINE DID NOT START AND A MESSAGE FLASHED ON THE INFORMATION CENTER. CAN NOT QUOTE YOU THE EXACT MESSAGE BECAUSE IT WAS MORNING RUSH HOUR AND A LINE OF VEHICLES WERE BEHIND ME ANXIOUS TO MOVE. THE MESSAGE WAS INSTRUCTIONS WAS TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THIS RESOLVED THE SITUATION BUT THE ENGINE SHOULD HAVE RESTARTED WITHOUT HAVING TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DANGER!! POTENTIAL EXTREME INJURY OR DEATH POSSIBLE. THESE ISSUES MUST BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ENGINE ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN WHEN IN REVERSE. BRAKING: WOULD SLOW DOWN BUT WILL ACCELERATE WHEN BRAKE WAS RELEASED UPON REVERSE. UPON REVERSING UP AN UPHILL LOCAL SIDE STREET DRIVEWAY, BRAKING, AND RELEASING THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED IN LESS THAN ONE SECOND AT A TREMENDOUS SPEED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO DRIVE FROM REVERSE, THE ENGINE CREATED A HIGH-PITCHED WHINING SOUND. HAD THERE BEEN THE CHILDREN IN THE DRIVEWAY, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THERE IS ALSO A WHINING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE WHEN IT IS RUNNING. CHANGING GEAR FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE: ENGINE CREATES A HIGH-PITCHED WHINING SOUND REVERSE UP A SLIGHT HILL: REVERSING UP A SMALL HILL IMMENSELY ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN. WE NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP WHEN WE RECEIVED THE VEHICLE, BUT IT WAS NOT CORRECTED.
