problem #1

Expedition 4WD

  • miles
While driving at 50 mph, the accelerator stuck in the down position. The Expedition continued to pick-up speed until I put the transmission in neutral and was able to pull to the side of the road. The engine at this point was racing. With the vehicle stopped, it took me about 30 seconds to pull the accelerator back up with my hand. At this point the accelerator "popped" back into place and the engine stopped racing. I had the vehicle towed and I have asked the mechanic to save any parts which need to be replaced. I cannot believe that a vehicle of this price range would do this and I am quite concerned over this incident. Could you E-mail or call me or both concerning my complaint and how you proceed from this point? I am very interested in tracking this issue. I am very concerned that any vehicle could fail in this manner. Ford Motor Company will be hearing from me as soon as I am done with this message to you. Thank you for your time.
