This is my 2nd replacement of a throttle position sensor. Very expensive repair! $500-600 (basically a new pedal assembly.) what is disturbingly unsafe is the driver will lose all throttle response anytime and unknowingly random timing. Could be on the freeway (with traffic on your butt! could be at a light turning left! could be crossing a intersection or railroad crossing that you were stopped at! it is very unnerving to step on the pedal and have no response when your very own safety is at stake! I feel Ford is hiding this issue for decades and gouging the consumer multiple times! please help me right this wrong. I notice a lot of posting on others having this issue for years!!! why is Toyota held accountible for such minor issues like a floor mat hold down point and an american manufacturer can tell you "sorry"there is no recall or free repair for such important function of a vehicle"?" I pray that no one is killed and forces a huge lawsuit.. because Ford won't recover from the claims! again, ,I want you to think about this the next time you have your family in the car and you are in the position to safely move when your foot moves the gas pedal and nothing happens! this is bs, , the cover ups need to stop!.
While driving down the highway the engine hesitated then seized up. The driver pulled over and turned off the engine at which point the vehicle was in flames. The vehicle was a total loss. It is not known if this vehicle had a recalled cruise control switch and available information varies as to if this make/model was included. Also the dealer who sold us this vehicle approximately 14 months prior to the fire did not check for recalls prior to reselling the vehicle.
The bolts that hold the turbo-charger fell out. The turbo-charger was not operating effectively. Consumer contacted manufacturer, and dealer, and they said too bad, there was nothing they could do.
The cup holders will not properly hold cups when vehicle is turning or when vehicle makes sharp turns. The contents of the cups will spill on the drivers or the passengers legs depending on which direction the vehicle is turning.

This truck has many problems. Strarting with the transmission going out, the front right side of the truck there is a distinctive "clunk" when put into gear; either forward or reverse. Then going interior; the "door ajar" light comes on it thinks that the doors are not shut, but you can slam all 4 doors shut and it still thinks the doors are "ajar" so that will keep the interior light on while driving. The interior light will go out if you get up to about 20 mph, then when you slow down to under 20mph it will come back on. The "warning bell" comes on and stays on even when the truck is shut off. Next the seat belts will some times work and some times not. Either the are hard to pull out or they will not retract. The tailgate cover has warped in not even 1 year after we had it.
Even with the doors shut ajar, instrument panel reflects within windshield, causing poor visiblity for the driver at night. Dealer can't duplicate the problem.
I was taveling on the interstate at approximately at 60 mph when I came upon a pick-up truck that was traveling at approximately 20 mph and rammed into the back end. The Ford dealership that I bought the truck from was to do the repair work. Their body shop was to get with Ford to find out why the airbag did not deploy. The reason they told me was that the other vehicle was moving slightly and that Ford's airbags was not designed to go off in those situations. This to me is a feeble answer.
