While driving at 40 mph engine stopped working making brakes and steering fail. Limped off busy road luckily! engine light showed electronic throttle failure. Now check engine light is on. Going to dealers for repair today-since this is an obvious problem for Ford why haven't they addressed it! could be deadly if fails in heavy traffic conditions.
I had just picked up my son from his school and made a left turn at the stop sign to go to the main road to pick my daughter from her school when the brakes failed in my truck. The red was ahead,cars were lined,kids were crossing the road,and I had to something really fast. I drove in to a driveway in my right which was a parking for a hospital. I kept trying to push the brake pedal to stop the car,but the wouldn't stop. It went over the curb and hit a tree. I called the police, then my insurance,car was towed to the body shop. The Ford store did the diagnostics on the brake and told my insurance company that the brake booster had failed. My insurance company got the work started for the body damage. I called the Ford store several times asking for a copy of the diagnostic and the person in charge would not return my call or give me a copy. Three weeks later when body started they sent a report to the body shop that the cause of the accident, was undetermined sent this report after he spoke to the office of the general counsel of Ford. The accident occurred at 3:15 on sept. 17th and my car went through a 60,000 mile check up on sept. 16th. At the Ford store.
