Once every 2 months or so, I will be at a stop light (just happen to be towing my single-axle trailer in tow-haul mode)... and when the light turns green, I go to excelerate... and nothing happens!!! It has happened once in July and now again this weekend here in October!!!
The truck just stays at idle.... no RPM's... no nothing!!!
I step, mash, cuss, swear, push..... and repeat.. and finally it comes to life.... or one time, I shut off and restarted and all was fine??????
I have the "adjustable pedal" feature in my '03 Excursion Ltd, 6.0L PSD, if that makes a difference?
My questions are:
1) Is this a a known problem or is there a TSB out for this?
2) My son got a recall letter from Ford for his 2001 F250, 7.3L for a "gas pedal problem", but I did not - why not?
3) What do I tell my dealer and how do I replicate since it is so imfrequent... and is this a known or wide-spread issue (or how wide-spread)?
4) What is the fix and at what cost (I am well out of warrenty), but it could be a safety problem at some point!!!
I drive a 2003 Excursion Ltd, 4X4, 6.0L PSD with 180,000 miles on the odometer.
Ford Techs, I am open to your comments, recall, TSB or repair information.
Thanks,
Jeff
