With all this attention being paid about Toyota,I think its about time I mention the problem with the accelerator on my Ford Ranger. Twice it has stuck on me and I was very lucky it happened on rural roads. Both times the rpm"s shot up to 5000,and I lost my brakes completely. I was able to control the situation by turning the key off and letting the vehicle roll to a stop after going thru a stop sign. That first time I let the truck sit for a few minutes,I didn"t know what to do ,and it settled itself down,because it seemed fine,ran good. The second time was the same senerio,but this time I had to have the vehicle towed because it would not settle down. My mechanic didn"t give me a very good explanation of what he did to fix the problem. I did stop at three different dealers to explain the problem,and they looked at me like I had two heads. They didn"t seem to care.
2000 Ranger had throttle problems. The dealership replaced various parts on the vehicle such as the mass air flow sensor, idle air control. The problem continued.
While applying accelerator vehicle makes a rattling noise. Dealership is aware of problem.
