ON JULY 18TH 2012 I WAS TAKING HOLLYWOOD BLVD TO GO TO THE STORES AND ALL THE SUDDEN THE TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND DINT' HIT ANYBODY. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY HOME. THEN A FEW DATES LATER WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO A FORD DEALER WERE THEY CHARGE US FOR CHECKING THE TRUCK AND THE MECHANIC FROM THE FORD DEALER AND OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW THAT HAS THE SAME VEHICLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. AND THEY ALL TOLD ME THE SAME IT IS A MANUFACTURE ERROR AND IT IS SO AND SO BAD THAT THE PART IT IS IN BACK ORDER IS WORTH $600.00 DOLLARS MY QUESTION TO YOU IS WHY WE THE PEOPLE THAT PURCHASE THESE VEHICLES BE RESPONSIBLE AND HAVE TO PAY FOR A PART THAT THE FORD MANUFACTURED MADE AN ERROR THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE PART AT NO COST TO US THE CUSTOMERS. BECAUSE THE FORD IS THE ONE THAT MADE THE GEM MODULE DEFECTIVE WE SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT. THANK YOU *TR

ON FEBRUAARY 3, 2001 MY WIFE WAS PULLING INTO THE CUSTOMER PICKUP AREA OF SEARS IN AMARILLO, TEXAS AS SHE PULLED UP TO THE PICKUP AREA AND REMOVED HER FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO APPLY THE BRAKES, THE ACCELERATOR STUCK AND OUR PICKUP TRUCK RAMMED THE BACKEND OF ANOTHER PICKUP TRUCK IN FROM HER. SHE SHIFTED TO REVERS, THE ENGINE STILL RUNNING AT A RAPID SPEED, TO BACK AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE THAT SHE HAD RAMMED. SINCE THE ENGINE WS RUNNING AT A HIGH SPEED, OUR VEHICLE RACED BACKWARD. IN ORDER TO KEEP FROM BACKING TNTO SOMEONE BEHINDHER, SHE THEN SHIFTED INTO FORWARD GEAR AND RAMMED THE PICKUP IN FRONT OF HER AGAIN. ALL OF THIS TIME THE REAR TIRES WERE SPINNING AND SMOKING. AFTER SHE RAMMED THE PICKUP THE SECOND TIME, SHE TURNED THE IGNITION OFF TO STOP THE CRAZY SITUATION. HAD SHE KNOWN, OF COURSE, THAT THE THROTTLE WAS GOING TO STAY ENGAGED AT HIGH SPEED, SHE WOULD HAVE KILLED THE ENGINE EARLIER. THE COMBINATION OF ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND AN UNCONTROLLABLE THROTTLE IS A RECIPE FOR DISASTOR.
