“I was traveling down a two lane road in my 2008 f250 pickup (diesel) on 26 jan 2016 about 35 MPH, and came upon a stop sign. I released the gas pedal and started braking. The engine started accelerating, even though I was applying the brakes. The vehicle was in four wheel drive (high), so all four tires were spinning fast, and kept the vehicle moving forward. I stood on the brake pedal with both feet, and after going several feet into the intersection, it finally stopped. I quickly shifted into neutral, and a few seconds later the problem stopped. I then continued on my way. …”
NHTSA complaint #10822683, filed 2016-01, 37,062 miles“Accelerated on road up to approximately 50 MPH when the vehicle suddenly shut off. Was extremely difficult to get off to the side of the highway. Vehicle issue turned out to be a wire shorting out on the high pressure fuel pump. Issue known by Ford which issued TSB 07-26-2. Affects all f250/f1350/f450/f550 created in first half of 2007. A brief search around the we shows it affects later years as well so replacement part may not be adequate. Many fail at much lower miles.”
