SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND THROTTLE STICKING AT LOW SPEED FOR 2ND TIME IN THREE WEEK TIME.MECHANICS UNABLE TO FIND CAUSE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE NHTSA SITE AND THERE ARE MANY REPORTED SIMILAR INCIDENTS OF THROTTLE STICKING BY OTHER FORD TRUCK CONSUMERS. HOW MANY INCIDENTS DO YOU NEED TO DEMAND THAT FORD DO A RECALL. HOW MANY PEOPLE MUST BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIE. *AK

THIS VAN WOULD BE CONSIDERED A LEMON IF ALL OF THIS HAPPENED WITHIN TWO YEARS. FIRST THE DOOR LOCK FELL OUT, THEN THE REARVIEW MIRROR FELL OFF, THEN THE WRONG FUSE SIZE HAD BEEN INSTALLED AND THE THE CAR COULD NOT STARTED AND ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS FAILED. THIS ALL HAPPENED IN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. AFTER THAT ALL THE BALL JOINTS HAD TO BE REPLACES THE FOLLOWING YEAR. AFTER THAT THE BRAKES FAILED DUE TO TOO LIGHT A DUTY BRAKE BEING INSTALLED ON A CONVERSION VAN. IN 1998 THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO GO OUT, IT HAS NOT COMPLETELY GONE OUT YET. IT SHUDDERS ON LIGHT TO MODERATE ACCELERATION. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS PROBABLY THE THRUST CONVERTER. IN JUNE 1999 THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT. THE DEALER SAID THAT IT HAD BEEN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY BECAUSE OF CORROSION. THE CAR PUMP WENT OUT ON A TWO LANE 6% GRADE GOING DOWN HILL CAUSING THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES TO PRACTICALLY FAIL DO TO NO POWER. THE COURTESY LIGHTS HAVE NOW FAILED AND WE ARE UNABLE TO TURN ANY OF THEM ON. WE ARE WORRIED ABOUT AN ELECTRICAL FIRE DUE TO THE SHORT. WE WANT FORD TO OFFER TO PAY FOR FIXING THESE ITEMS. THERE ARE MANY SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING ALL OF THESE THINGS.

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED PROBLEM WITH GRILL COMING OFF WHILE DRIVING APPRX. 70 MPH AND HITTING FRONT WINDSHIELD, ALMOST CAUSING A VEHICLE COLLISION. THIS CONDITION WAS DUE TO A FAULTY ATTACHMENT AS A RESULT OF A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT.

TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH ON A SURFACE STREET I PREPARED TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. SUDDENLY THE ENGINE WENT INTO A FAST ACCELLERATION. I COULD HEAR THE ENGINE RACING WHILE ACCELLERATING. I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE BUT THE BRAKES FAILED. ACCELLERATION WAS CONTINUING. I SHIFTED TO PARK IN ORDER TO STOP THE VAN. THIS SAVED ME FROM CRASHING. THE VAN WAS DRIVABLE AND SO I DROVE HOME BECAUSE IT WAS EVENING. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AND WILL NOT DO SO UNTIL IT IS CHECKED OUT COMPLETELY. I UNDERSTAND THAT DAMAGE MAY HAVE BEEN SUSTAINED BECAUSE OF THE METHOD OF STOPPING IT.

WHEN VEHICLE CRASHED HEAD-ON INTO A STATIONARY VEHICLE, TRAVELING BETWEEN 40-60 MPH, THERE WAS NO DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG. OWNER IS WAITING TO GET VEHICLE REPAIRED. DAMAGES TOTALL ABOUT $3,000.00. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

I AM ONLY 4FT10IN. THE SEAT WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD TO ADJUST TO MY HEIGHT. WHILE DRIVING THE SEAT WILL SUDDENLY FLY BACKWARDS. I HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AT TIMES. THIS IS DANGEROUS.
