WHILE DRIVING MY MOTOR HOME WHICH IS BUILT ON A 1999 FORD CHASSIS I LOST POWER AND HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT DID NOT SHUT COMPLETELY OFF BUT I HAD NO POWER TO CONTROL THE SPEED.

ON 23 FEB 2011 IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT WAS SCANNED A CODE CAME UP AND A SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THE NEXT MORNING IT WAS TEST DRIVEN AND RETEST WAS OK.THE FOLLOWING WEEK I TOOK OFF ON A TRIP TO FLORIDA FROM PA. THE FIRST TIME IT LOST POWER WAS ON THE BELTWAY AROUND WASHINGTON DC. I CONTINUED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM OFF AND ON THE WHOLE TRIP DOWN TO FLORIDA. WHEN WE PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD EACH TIME IT HAPPENED I WOULD SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN AND IT WOULD RESTART AND DRIVE AWAY TILL THE NEXT TIME I LOST POWER.WE DECIDED TO CUT OUR VACATION SHORT AND TRY TO GET HOME. WE TRIED TO DRIVE AT TIMES WHEN TRAFFIC WAS NOT HEAVY BECAUSE IT WAS AT TIMES BECOMING A BIT UNSAFE. WE MOSTLY TRIED TO STAY OFF THE INTERSTATE ROADS. BUT COULD NOT ALWAYS DO THAT. WE FORTUNATELY GOT HOME OK. ON MARCH 25,2011 I HAD IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND THEY TEST DROVE IT A NUMBER OF TIMES AND CHECKED FOR CODES AND NOTHING CAME UP. I RECENTLY HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED AND I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH IT LOOSING POWER WHILE I AM DRIVING. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS I FEEL IT IS NOT SAFE. *TR
