description: 10/11/98 APPOX 1100 MI - TRUCK SURGED WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED. THIS WAS SECOND TIME. 10/13/98 1180 MI - 3RD OCCURRENCE - SAME BUT GREATER SURGE REQUIRING EXCESSIVE PRESSURE TO AVOID HITTING CAR AT INTERSECTION. MORNING - ENGINE COLD. DISTANCE FROM START (HOME DRIVEWAY) TO INTERSECTION APPOX. 200 YARDS. 10/15/98 1308 MI - 4TH OCCURRENCE - LEFT PARKING SPACE AFTER WORK (3:30 PM) AND TRAVELED 100 FEET AND APPLIED BRAKE TO MAKE LEFT TURN. ENGINE SURGED REQUIRING ALL MY POWER TO AVOID CRASHING INTO SIDE OF PARKED VAN WITH PASSENGER INSIDE. 10/21/98 1358 MI - LEFT AT NORTHPORT FORD - COMPANY COULD NOT DETECT ANY PROBLEM AND STILL HAS THE TRUCK (AS OF 10/27/98). I FEAR THAT THE INCREASINGLY POWERFUL ACCELERATIONS WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED WILL RESULT IN AN UNAVOIDABLE ACCIDENT AND AM LEAVING THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS IDENTIFIED AND FIXED. FORD IS TRYING INFLIGHT DETECTOR.
