Unintended Acceleration
Hey Ford powertrain gurus, I have an 2017 E350 chassis Box truck (yes...I know it's not a skoolie, but hear me out) with the 6.8L V10. This past Saturday my friend/partner was taking it to our storage to pick up some gear for a show. He stopped at the gate, put the truck in park, entered his code and the gate started to open, he pushed the brake pedal and shifted to Drive. Suddenly the truck went to 100% throttle. He "stood on the brake pedal" and the engine calmed down after roughly 5 excruciatingly long seconds. He crashed through the gate and did a little damage to both the gate and the truck.
The question is, has anyone here every experienced anything similar with a 6.8L V10 powered vehicle? Just trying to do my homework.
Thanks,
Anthony
