WHILE TRAVELING 55 MPH AND WHEN DRIVER WAS DECELERATING VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE BY ITSELF, EVEN AFTER BRAKE PEDAL WAS BEING DEPRESSED. A SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED TWO DAYS LATER. NO ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES OCCURRED. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER. *AK

ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN AFTER FOOT IS TAKEN OFF GAS PEDAL, ONE TIME THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED UP TO 85MPH...THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WAS TO SHIFT IT INTO NEUTRAL, WHEN I DID THIS THE ENGINE WAS REVVING TO IT'S LIMITS. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF WHICH MEANT THE POWER ASSIST TO THE BRAKES WAS NO LONGER WORKING. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE THING FOR THIS VEHICLE TO DO. THIS WAS THE LAST TIME THE VEHICLE DID THIS. AFTER THE TRUCK SITS FOR 5-10MINS WITH THE ENGINE OFF IT WILL RESTART & APPEAR TO BE NORMAL, HOWEVER THIS PROBLEM REAPPEARED 5 TIMES IN TOTAL IN THE COURSE OF A 400 MILE TRIP. THE BIG PROBLEM IS THAT THIS VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE TO RUN & IB ONE INSTANCE ACCELERATE AFTER THE DRIVERS FOOT IS TAKEN OFF THE GAS PEDAL.*AK

UPON RE-POSITIONING MY VEHICLE IN A DRIVEWAY, I BACKED UP THEN ATTEMPTED TO PROCEEDED FORWARD. AT THIS POINT MY SUV SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED AN UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION WHEN BRAKING TO COME TO A STOP WITH MY 1998 FORD EXPEDITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED 10 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER, 1998. THE FIRST OCCURENCE WAS ON 9/19/1998 AND THE LATEST OCCURRENCE WAS 3/01/1999. INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP THE ENGINE ACCELERATES AS IF I WERE PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL RATHER THAN THE BRAKE. THE DEGREES OF THE ENGINE ACCELERATION HAVE VARIED FROM SOMEWHAT MILD TO EXTREMELY VIOLENT. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE VEHICLE IS TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL SINCE THE ACCELERATION STILL PULLS THE VEHICLE FORWARD EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE (STANDING ON THE BRAKE). THIS UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION HAS ALWAYS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED IN THE BRAKING PROCESS TO COME TO A FULL STOP. LUCKILY THERE HAVE NOT BEEN PEDESTRIANS OR OTHER AUTOMOBILES IN FRONT OF ME WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP AND FORD HAVE NOT PROVIDED A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM AS OF THIS DATE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE AND IS A POTENTIAL KILLER. ALL 10 OCCURRENCES OF THE PROBLEM HAPPENED WITH LESS THAN 4,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATES. *AK

THE VEHICLE WILL INTERMITTENTLY SURGE OR STALL UPON ACCELERATION . DEALER HAS PUT IT ON COMPUTER, BUT CANNOT DETERMINE WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. *AK

VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP AND ENGINE SPEED INCREASED. BREAK PEDAL WAS FULLY DEPRESSED. ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS NOT WAS NOT DEPRESSED. VEHICLE ONLY STOPPED WHEN TRANSMISSION WAS PUT IN NEUTRAL. A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WAS NARROWLY AVOIDED. WILL BRING VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR CHECK-OUT ASAP. *AK

CRUISE CONTROL EXPERIENCES INTERMITTENT FAILURE.

THIS HAPPENS PERIODICALLY WHEN CONSUMER IS AT A STOP LIGHT THE TRUCK BEGINS TO ROAR AND PULL FORWARD WHILE FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. ALSO, THE RPM GOES OVER 7,OOO, HAVE TO PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND THE CUT THE TRUCK OFF, AND THEN CUT IT BACK ON.
