FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER ENGINE IS WARMED UP, WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN, THERE IS A FEW SECONDS, 3 TO 5, THAT THE TRUCK WILL NOT SPEED UP. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES AS LONG AS YOU ARE IN SLOW DOWN AND SPEED UP TRAFFIC. IF YOU ARE TURNING LEFT THE SPEED UP TIME CAN BE 3 TO 8 SECONDS. I HAVE CARRIED TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD AT THESE TIMES THAT THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE WHAT I HAVE TOLD THEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS ALMOST CAUSED A ACCIDENT SEVERAL, SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE EXPLAINED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THERE IS STEEL NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED THAT I WILL BE IN A ACCIDENT.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE SPARK PLUG SHOOTS OUT OF THE BLOCK AND SHORTLY AFTER YOU CAN SMELL GAS FUMES WITH IS AN OBVIOUS FIRE HAZARD. NOT ONLY IS IT EXPENSIVE TO FIND A MECHANIC WHO CAN COIL THE PLUG BACK INTO THE BLOCK, AFTER READING ABOUT IT THE SAME INCIDENT HAPPENS TO MANY OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME TRUCK AS I DO. YET, THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL.

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 60 MPH THE DASH STARTING CHIMING AND GAVE ME A STOP SAFELY NOW MESSAGE. I SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AT ABOUT 5 MPH THE TRUCK SHUT OFF, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FADED. I WAS BARELY OUT OF THE LANE OF TRAFFIC AND MY ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE TRUCK AND GET IT FURTHER OFF THE ROAD TO A SAFER SPOT WERE NOT ALLOWED BY THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. I HAD THE TRUCK HAULED TO A NEARBY FORD DEALER AND AFTER COOLING OFF ALL NIGHT THE TRUCK WOULD RESTART. THE LOCAL DEALER COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM DUE TO TROUBLE WITH HIS DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER SO HE SUGGESTED I TRAVEL TO ANOTHER DEALER. HE FELT I COULD MAKE IT THERE WITH THE TRUCK. I WENT TO THE MOTEL WHERE MY WIFE AND I HAD TO SPEND THE NIGHT TO PICK HER UP, A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 1-2 MILES. WE LOADED OUR BELONGS UP INTO THE TRUCK, I RESTARTED IT AND STARTED TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE AND IT REPEATED THE STOP SAFELY NOW WARNING AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF IMMEDIATELY SEEING MY SPEED WAS UNDER 5 MPH. I WAS HALFWAY OUT OF THE SPACE AND WAS STUCK THERE. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE IT HELPED IN THE MOTEL PARKING LOT AS OPPOSED TO JUST AS I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC.. AT THE NEXT DEALERSHIP THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BAD EGT TEMPERATURE SENSOR IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. *TR
