ON 4-29,2010 I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 25 MPH WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL WHEN WITHOUT WARNING, THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THE TRUCK ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. TAKING MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS, I PUT THE BRAKE ON, THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND WAS LURCHING, THE TIRE WERE SQUEALING, BUT I WAS NOT SLOWING DOWN, I WAS GOING ABOUT 60 MPH BY NOW, THE ENGINE WAS STILL ACCELERATING, I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, AND WAS COMING TO A STOP SLOWING, THERE WAS AN INTERSECTION WITH CROSS TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME.. I WAS STILL MOVING.. SO I JAMMED IT INTO PARK TO STOP.. I RESTARTED IT IN A FEW SECONDS THINKING I COULD MOVE IT OUT OF TRAFFIC, BUT WHEN I STARED IT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RACING. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THEADORE ROBBINS FORD IN COSTA MESA CA. THEY HAD THE TRUCK 2 DAYS AND WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE SITUATION, FIXED NOTHING AND RETURNED THE TRUCK TO ME. THE TRUCK IS A 2007 F 150 WITH 26,072 MILES ON IT. *TR

2007 FORD F150 HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE PLACEMENT OF ITS GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN BRAKING YOU ACCIDENTALLY HIT BOTH PEDALS WHICH CAUSES YOU TO ACCELERATE. I JUST PURCHASED THIS TRUCK AND NOTICED THIS ISSUE. MY BROTHER ALSO NOTICED THIS. IF I LEND MY TRUCK OUT I MAKE SURE I INFORM THE PERSON ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. WHEN SEARCHING THE WEB MANY OTHER SITES ARE ADDRESSING THIS SAFETY ISSUE OF ACCELERATION WHEN BRAKING. I WONDER WHAT YOUR AGENCY IS DOING REGARDING THIS SAFETY PROBLEM? THE PUBLIC IS AWARE OF IT SO MUCH SO THEY ARE POSTING ABOUT IT. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS, CUSTOMERS HAVE COMPLAINED. SO WHEN IS YOUR AGENCY GOING TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND ADDRESS THIS SAFETY ISSUE? *TR

MY 2007 FORD 150 HAS 46,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS MOVING IT IN THE DRIVE WAY AT A VERY SLOW SPEED AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT ACCELERATED AND THE MORE I TRIED TO STEP ON THE BRAKE THE FASTER IT WENT. VERY SCARY! I THINK WHAT IS MORE SCARY IS THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS COMPLAINED. I AM TAKING IT TO THE SHOP THIS WEEK BUT THE MORE I READ THE MORE I AM CONVINCED THEY WILL NOT FIND ANYTHING. *TR

MY 2007 FORD F150 HAS A SEVERE SAFETY FLAW. FOUR TIMES SO FAR, BETWEEN MARCH 2008 AND JULY 2008, THE VEHICLE HAS ACCELLERATED ON ITS OWN WHEN BRAKING TO STOP. THE TRUCK WILL SLOW TO ABOUT 10 MPH THEN SUDDENLY ON ITS OWN THE ENGINE REVS TO 2000 RPMS AND THE TRUCK SURGES FORWARD. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO THROW IT INTO NEUTRAL. THIS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS . TWO SEPARATE FORD DEALERS WORKED ON THIS PROBLEM BUT BOTH FOUND NOTHING WRONG EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. I E-MAILED FORD ON 7/23/2008 BUT THEY HAVE NOT YET REPLIED. *TR
