I OWN A 2006 FORD F-150 4X4 PICKUP. TWO WEEKS AGO THE SPEED ODOMETER WENT CRAZY, IT STARTED OUT STICKING AT 10 MPH AND MOVED ALL THE WAY OVER TO 120+ AND SOMETIMES DROPS TO THE 40 MPH AREA AND THEN RIGHT BACK UP TO THE 120 MPH ZONE. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS TRUCK OVER 75 MPH...EVER. I CHECKED FOR A CABLE MALFUNCTION BUT I FOUND OUT THERE IS NO CABLE, ITS ELECTRONIC.THIS TRUCK HAS 144,000 MILES WHAT IS GOING ON WITH FORD THESE DAYS? IS THERE A RECALL ON SOMETHING? HOW DO YOU FIX THIS? I HAVE ALREADY CHANGED ALL 8 COIL PACKS ON THIS TRUCK FOR AN UNRELATED PROBLEM WITH IGNITION. I HEAR THE SPARK PLUGS ARE A PAIN ALSO. ALL I KNOW NOW WHEN I DRIVE THIS TRUCK THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL HOW FAST I AM GOING. I JUST JUDGE MY SPEED BY HOW FAST EVERYBODY ELSE IS GOING. IF NOBODY IS ON THE ROAD I AM SCREWED...THANKS A LOT FORD !!!

THE THROTTLE ON MY 2006 FORD VAN BEGAN STICKING AT APPROX. 55,000 MILES. THIS IS NOT A PEDAL ISSUE, IT WAS THE THROTTLE BUTTERFLY ITSELF THAT WAS STICKING. THE PROBLEM RESULTED IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE AND FINALLY FORCED ME TO RUN A RED LIGHT, BUT DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT (FOR ME) IT WOULD ALSO CAUSE THE VAN TO REV UP VERY HIGH WHEN FIRST STARTED, EVEN WHEN NO GAS HAD BEEN APPLIED. YOU ALSO HAD TO HOLD YOUR FOOT VERY FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE AT A STOP, OR THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE TO APPROX. 40 MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER REPEATEDLY (CITY FORD IN CARTERSVILLE GA) AND ARGUED WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER ALL THE WAY UP TO THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT BECAUSE THEY CONSIDERED IT NORMAL WEAR. A STICKING THROTTLE, PARTICULARLY ON A VEHICLE WHICH USES ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL, VS A CABLE SHOULD NEVER BE "NORMAL". I ARGUED THE ISSUE REPEATEDLY WITH THE DEALER AND ALSO WITH THE FORD ZONE MANAGER, BUT FINALLY, FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY, I WAS FORCED TO PU
