SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES AND THE CAR ACCELORATATED FROM 58 TO 80. I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES BEFORE IT FINALLY STOPPED. ANOTHER TIME I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AND PRESSED THE BRAKE AND IT BEGAN TO ACCELERATE, I PUMPED THE BRAKES AND IT FINALLY STOPPED. A WEEK LATER I PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND PRESSED THE GAS AND THE CAR DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE, HAD PUT IT BACK INTO PARK THEN DRIVE AND WHEN IMPRESSED THE GAS, IT WENT. A FEW TIMES I PRESSED THE BRAKES IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS STUCK INSIDE THEM AND THEY WOULDN'T GRAB.

VEHICLE SPUTTERS AFTER TAKE OFF FROM STOPS SUCH AS TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. PULLING OUT OF PLACES INTO TRAFFIC. VEHICLE CUTS OFF SOMETIMES AFTER PULLING OUT FROM LOCATIONS. THE PROBLEM IS BECOMING WORSE AND WORSE. I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO CUT IF AND I'M GOING TO BE KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. VEHICLE DOES THIS EVERY SINGLE DAY NOW. WHENEVER I'M DRIVING AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP OR IF I'M PULLING INTO TRAFFIC.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE STALLED DURING A LEFT TURN INTO THE RIGHT LANE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND WAS HIT AS A RESULT. THE VEHICLE WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN TO FORD PREVIOUSLY DUE TO CONCERNS OF STALLING/SLUGGISH ACCELERATION AT WHICH TIME THE DEALER DISCLOSED AN ISSUE WAS KNOWN THAT WAS MOST LIKELY THE CAUSE. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE CAR AND PERFORMED REPAIRS. THE ACCELERATION SEEMED A LITTLE BETTER BUT STILL NOT RIGHT BASED ON DECADES OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE. I THINK THE CPV ISSUE (18S32/18V-735) MAY HAVE CAUSED THE CAR TO STALL AND BE HIT WHEN IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HIT OTHERWISE.
