Just to let you guy's and gal's know, you are not crazy. While driving my wife's 01 EB it did it in the drive through. At first I thought I made the mistake of catching the accelerator with my toe... but that wasn't the case. No harm was done and the XP hasn't done it since, but I always think about it when I drive it.

Hello.. I'm new here and this is an interesting thread. I just purchased a 2001 EB Expedition... and I was pulling out of my driveway one day, and I think this happened to me. I came to the website to learn about the trip computer and saw this thread. I hope that I accidently hit both pedals.. I had big boots on.
This is a bummer... I hope my SUV isnt going to be one of these!

Add us to your club. We've had a 2001 EB Exp for over a year with no problems. Just last night I made a slow right turn from a parking lot and had to brake for a red light. The accelerator surged by itself with my foot (I'm a one foot driver) on the brake.
Within the last few months we've had the cruise control fixed under the recall. but over than that the vehicle has been troublefree.
I will look into the vapor canister as a possibility and keep checking this thread for updates.

I have a 94 f350 4.7 liter 5 speed deisel dually. This model has no turbo. It ran fine until I replaced the fuel filter (which was rusted on) it completely runs off and keeps on a goin even after I turn off the ignition and pull out the key. Smokes like a mother too. I been told a few things it could possibly be, but no one is definite 100 percent. Please help!
