Truck stalled and lost transmission power in the middle of busy highway. Waited 20min on shoulder and truck started and ran fine. This has happened periodically over the last year with no error codes found during diagnostics related. Now happing more frequent and yesterday the truck stalled again and now will not start. Researched and found a class action lawsuit about ford PCM/TCM failures which described my symptoms perfectly. Next issue is at 55mph the truck tried to go into 4-low, which shut the truck down on the high way and almost went off the road. Error code found during diagnostics was the "communication to transfer case shift motor"

While driving 60 MPH, I left off the accelerator to slow down to 45 MPH the posted speed limit ahead. At 45 MPH, I slightly touched the accelerator to maintain the 45 MPH speed limit, the RPM's went over 4000 and would not stop. I applied the brake, but the engine kept the RPM's between 4000 and 4200. I stomped on the brake with both feet and the un-intended acceleration stayed at the higher RPM. I could hear the anti-lock brakes engage to help slow the truck down, but the engine labored over 4000 RPM. I was concerned with not being able to stop the truck, so I shifted the transmission into neutral and coasted to the berm of the road with the engine staying at a very high RPM. Once I came to a complete stop, I shifted the truck into park and the RPM's were over 6000. I immediately shut off the engine and waited a few seconds before trying to re-start the truck. I checked the condition of the floor mat asap to verify it was not on top of the accelerator. This happened to my wife less than a year ago and nothing was found at the ford dealership and the ogc reviews suggested that the floor mat may have caused the first un-intended acceleration. As I turned the key, the engine would not start and it made a clicking noise. I got out of the truck and opened the hood to check the motor. I could not see anything, so I went back into the cab and started the truck. It started, but would not idle, the RPM's went to over 6000 and stayed constant. I shut the truck off again and waited a few seconds and on the third attempt, I shut the truck back off, because the RPM's would not idle and went to 6000 and stayed there. I adjusted the power adjustable foot pedals and waited a few seconds and the truck started and idled at normal RPM's. I left the truck at the dealership on 7/31/13 for an inspection....updated 09-26-13
