Electronic Stability Control problem #1

When idle it has a rough sound changed faders and senors still same. . . It has a so trying gas smell around it and when driving it it may shut off and also it drives like it needs a tune up but has recently had one. . . . The wheel hub assembly is also acting up.

Electronic Stability Control problem #2

2007 f 150 king ranch spark plugs break when removing them (Ford cheap spark plug system). The truck also pull/tugs like if your transmission is missing however, I've been to the dealer multiple times for ignition coil issues. They said I need to change spark plugs. These spark plugs Ford said was to last 100,000 miles.

Electronic Stability Control problem #3

My wife and baby were travelling down the 405 freeway at 70mph when out of no where the trucks dashboard lit up and the truck completely shut down in the fast lane. The gas pedal did nothing and there was no way out of the fast lane safely. I normally wouldn't file a complaint except in this situation we had just purchased this "certified" used vehicle, it put my family in extreme danger, and the service consultant at Ford had indicated to me that this was a common problem with the f150 model. I was informed that it was the electronic throttle body or electronic throttle sensor that had gone out and that the service consultant had seen it on Ford f150 trucks ranging from brand new to older models.
