I was having problems with the truck spitting and sputtering and blowing black/blue smoke when under load. Took to dealer, replaced inj. Fuel pump and line, stopped for a few months at the cost of $3200 then two months later coming up rt 81. Kept running very rough, shaking stalling, pulled over and had aaa take it to dealer, they sent it out and was called being told cylinder is bad due to bad inj. They started the truck to move it out of garage and a loud bang was heard then the engine died..I still owe $15,000 on this truck and cant afford $8,000 for a new engine. I have had Ford in the past and had only rust problems with them but I will don't buy another one after this...
While at a dead stop, placed truck in drive and the engine suddenly accelerated to full power lunging the vehicle forward 10' while I simultaneously applied both feet to the brake for maximum stopping power. This is the third time in two to three months this has happened. No check engine lights are on. Took my car to the local Ford dealer and was told by the service manager that they have never heard of this problem before. Researched the internet only to find lots of other similar complaints. Originally thought it was human error, floor mat, or similar problem... but this last time, I was prepared because of previous incidents. This problem can cause a terrible accident and may even result in death.
