My truck is currently in the dealership for an on-going issue and I am curious if anyone has this same problem. Yesterday was the 4th time this has happened. I have about 5,800 miles on the vehicle.
When coming to a stop and pressing the brake, the engine will begin to rev up from 1500 to 3500 rpm. The only way to stop it is to release the brake or shut off the engine. Putting the vehicle in park makes it worse.
The first 3 times this happened I was able to stop the vehicle from moving by pressing the brake, although you could tell the engine wanted to push the vehicle forward. But as I mentioned, to stop the high rev you have to release the brake. A little nerve-racking to say the least. This all happened within the first 3,000 miles. I took it to the dealer but they could not find an error code or computer log.
Well yesterday it did it again. This was the first time in about 2,000 miles. This time the vehicle lurched forward about 4 feet. I immediately took it to the dealer and they are now evaluating it. This last time it really scared me because the brake did not hold the vehicle from moving forward. If someone had been in front of me, vehicle or pedestrian, I would have hit them.
To me, It feels like the engine is revving to match the transmission gear but instead of dropping to a lower gear the computer is telling the engine to rev higher to match the current gear. And now that the gas pedal, break pedal and transmission is all electronically controlled I am not sure where Ford will even begin. As I mentioned, the only way to stop the high rev is to release the brake. This is contrary to all instinct that tells you to hit the brake when the engine wants to rev higher and move forward when in reality you want to come to a stop.
