2004 Ford F-250 SD Vehicle speed control Problems

“1.) we were driving in the pet smart parking lot and the vehicle lurched forward on it s own and almost ran over a lady and her little dog! I had to slam on the brakes and shut it off! 2.) vehicle will stall and accelerate without warning. Very scary and dangerous!! 3.) three trips to the dealer and it still has not been repaired.”

“No acceleration when throttle pushed. My 2004 Ford f-250 has a situation where I can be setting at a intersection getting ready to pull into traffic, and when I press down on the throttle, nothing happens leaving me in the middle of the road. The truck idles pulling me into traffic, no acceleration happens at all. This has occurred 3 times in the last 2 weeks. There is no way to predict when it is going to happen. A major accident could easily occur.”

“Driving on the highway , complete loss of throttle but the engine was still running at a low amperage. Was able to pull off the road and turned it off. It wouldn't start back up right away. Had to wait a while it would start and limped it home. No problems for a few days, then it started acting up again. A couple times it would start, but at a low idle with no response of the gas peddle. The final straw was last week. I was driving on the highway to work. Each time I came to a stop, it would lose throttle. I was able to turn it off and back on to get going. …”

“2004 Ford f250 diesel truck does not have power to accelerate in the mornings. I can not pull out into traffic with any confidence that you will not be hit. The truck has been taken several times to Ford dealerships and they say that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. The vehicle has many other problems but if the computer can't find them, they do not exist and they will not fix it. I.e. Turbo being blown, fuel mileage becoming less and less etc.”

“My 2004 Ford 250 4 x 4 is surging (taking off) when I am not accelerating the engine. It does this at various speeds. The dealership has tried several fixes and even called their own hotline. Nothing is working to fix the problem. I am at times sitting a red signal light ant the truck wants to take off. My foot was firmly suppressed upon the brake pedal. I travel down a residential street, going at speeds between 25 and 40 miles per hour, and my truck surges forward as though I depressed the accelerator. I did not depressed the accelerator. …”
