AS I WAS APPROACHING A SCHOOL ZONE I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO STOP FOR A CROSSING GUARD ,SLIGHTLY SLIPPERY, WITH MY FOOT APPLIED TO BRAKE THE REAR WHEEL STARTED SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL,THE TAC PEGGED , THE TRACSHION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED REPEATEDLY, I EMEDITLY JAMMED THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK, AND SHUT OFF THE TRUCK.RESTARTED IT AND IT WAS THEN OK, HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE. WENT TO FORD DEALER THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND FOUND NO ERROR CODES, THIS IS GOT THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE MAJOR INJURIES. MY WIFE NOW REFUSES TO DRIVE MY TRUCK. DO NO WHAT TO DO,NEED HELP IN THIS MATTER!

VEHICLE VIBRATES AND HESITATES TO ACCELERATE TO THE POINT WHERE THE TRUCK ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF AROUND 1500 RPM ON BOTH HIGHWAY SPEED AND NORMAL STREET SPEED. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT OR MAYBE THEY JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S COMING FROM SINCE THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON.

MY VEHICLE HAD TO BE SERVICED THREE TIMES AT THREE SEPARATE DEALERSHIPS LAST YEAR. DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THIS ISSUE CAUSED THE DASHBOARD TO SHUT OFF EVEN WHILE DRIVING, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE SPEED AND FUEL LEVEL. THE AC WOULD ALSO GO OUT AND THE WINDOWS CEASED TO WORK. IF THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING WHEN THIS OCCURRED IT WOULD CONTINUE TO FUNCTION BUT WITHOUT ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS. ONCE THE TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF, IT COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. MY VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED THREE TIMES FOR REPAIRS. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS IN DRY CREEK, LA (60MIN FROM MY HOUSE), THE SECOND OCCURRED IN NEW ORLEANS, LA JUST PRIOR TO A BUSINESS MEETING (3 HOURS FROM HOME), AND THE THIRD TIME OCCURRED WITH MY FAMILY IN OUR HOME TOWN OF LAKE CHARLES. BOLTON FORD MADE IT SEEM IT LIKE IT WAS ME WHO CAUSED THE PROBLEM. THE TRUCK HASN'T HAD AN ISSUE YET BUT WE SHALL SEE. DEALING WITH FORD CONCERNING THIS ISSUE WAS AN ORDEAL I HOPE I NEVER HAVE TO REPEAT. I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE TRUCK SINCE THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS CONDUCTED THREE DIFFERENT REPAIRS.

THE FRONT BRAKES WERE NOT RELEASING. AS I TRAVELED AROUND TOWN COMPLETING SOME ERRANDS I SMELT THE BRAKES BURNING. WHEN I RETURNED HOME I DISCOVERED MY CALIPERS WAS NOT RELEASING. I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS, BRAKE LINES AND CALIPERS.
