My wife got into a rear end collision last week and complained about the inability to break and the surge in acceleration. After she stopped, she tried to move the vehicle and said it was performing the same. I went to pick her up and drove home. The vehicle seemed fine to me. From what I read, 99% of these reports are people pressing the accelerator instead of the brake.
So a little suspicious of the reported sudden acceleration caused the accident.
The next day, my son drove the expedition up north to the cottage and trailered the 19' boat to the launch, around 5km from the cottage, left the truck and trailer at the launch, then came back at the end of the day. in 4H he backed in the trailer then loaded the boat from the water. When he went to drive the truck started rolling back into the water and the brake had no power and he had to push all the way to the floor. He said he turned the truck off and back on and it was fine. Could be driver error again?
I called my mechanic and he said to bring it in and see if there is any codes. No codes. he did mention a throttle body could do this but no codes from that.
Any other thoughts?
BTW vehicle has 200,000km
Thanks
