I was driving 70 mph up a hill when my truck started hesitating and my speed started to rapidly drop. I was in the fast lane and was forced to make my way to the right shoulder under a major power loss. The problem has since happened multiple time when I accelerate rapidly or under a load.
While speeding up from a service road to merge into traffic on an express way at approximately 55-60 mph, my vehicle suddenly accelerated to 80+ mph in a matter of second. I hit the brakes and the vehicle briefly decrease speed to about 70 mph but as soon as I release the brake it quickly accelerated to 80+ mph again. I attempted to brake a second time but the vehicle reacted the same way. I then shifted the gear into neutral and hit the brake and exit the express way. The vehicle started to slow down but the engine idle was still extremely high and the accelerator depress almost to the floor. I pumped the accelerator until the idle reduce to normal. When I finally came to a stop, I turned the vehicle off and got out and my brakes were extremely hot and smoking. I looked under the hood but couldn¿t see anything that indicated a problem. After about 5 minutes I started the vehicle up and drove directly to the Ford dealership (woody anderson Ford, huntsville, alabama). Ford motor company case# cas3080877.
