#700521November 11, 1998
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE VEHICLE CAME OUT OF GEAR (PARK), IT PROCEEDED TO ROLL BACKWARDS DOWN THE HILL. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WAS OPEN AND CAUGHT ON A TREE WHICH WAS NEAR THE VEHICLE. IT ALSO KNOCKED DOWN AND INJURED A 4 YEAR OLD AS IT WAS ROLLING DOWN THE HILL. THE VEHICLE WAS SLOWED DOWN BY THE TREE, WHICH BARELY GAVE THE DRIVER ENOUGH TIME TO CLIMB INTO THE VEHICLE AND BRING IT TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE IT WENT BACKWARDS INTO A REVINE. IT HAS NOT YET BEEN DETERMINED WHY THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED.

#700303November 3, 1998
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS TAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY AT 60 MPH WHEN I CAME UPON A PICK-UP TRUCK THAT WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH AND RAMMED INTO THE BACK END. THE FORD DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM WAS TO DO THE REPAIR WORK. THEIR BODY SHOP WAS TO GET WITH FORD TO FIND OUT WHY THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE REASON THEY TOLD ME WAS THAT THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS MOVING SLIGHTLY AND THAT FORD'S AIRBAGS WAS NOT DESIGNED TO GO OFF IN THOSE SITUATIONS. THIS TO ME IS A FEEBLE ANSWER.

#700155October 28, 1998
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
10/11/98 APPOX 1100 MI - TRUCK SURGED WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED. THIS WAS SECOND TIME. 10/13/98 1180 MI - 3RD OCCURRENCE - SAME BUT GREATER SURGE REQUIRING EXCESSIVE PRESSURE TO AVOID HITTING CAR AT INTERSECTION. MORNING - ENGINE COLD. DISTANCE FROM START (HOME DRIVEWAY) TO INTERSECTION APPOX. 200 YARDS. 10/15/98 1308 MI - 4TH OCCURRENCE - LEFT PARKING SPACE AFTER WORK (3:30 PM) AND TRAVELED 100 FEET AND APPLIED BRAKE TO MAKE LEFT TURN. ENGINE SURGED REQUIRING ALL MY POWER TO AVOID CRASHING INTO SIDE OF PARKED VAN WITH PASSENGER INSIDE. 10/21/98 1358 MI - LEFT AT NORTHPORT FORD - COMPANY COULD NOT DETECT ANY PROBLEM AND STILL HAS THE TRUCK (AS OF 10/27/98). I FEAR THAT THE INCREASINGLY POWERFUL ACCELERATIONS WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED WILL RESULT IN AN UNAVOIDABLE ACCIDENT AND AM LEAVING THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS IDENTIFIED AND FIXED. FORD IS TRYING INFLIGHT DETECTOR.
