Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2008 F150 PICKUP WITH 348 MILES. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES ALREADY. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO EITHER REVERSE OR DRIVE AND THE ENGINE REVS AND THE CAR LURCHES. ALL TIMES, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO PUT QUICKLY INTO PARK THEN TURN OFF THE ENGINE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE CAR IS RESTARTED, THE ENGINE IS RUNNING NORMALLY. ONE OF THE THREE TIMES, IT HAPPENED WITH MY HUSBAND DRIVING. I CAN'T BE SURE I BELIEVE IT'S BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL AND GAS PEDAL ARE CLOSE ENOUGH TOGETHER THAT MY FOOT TOUCHES THE GAS WHEN BRAKING. THE FIRST TIME I HAD SHOES ON AND DON'T KNOW. THE SECOND TIME WAS WITH BARE FEET AND I FELT THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY FOOT TOUCH THE GAS. MY HUSBAND CAN'T COMMENT ON THE THIRD TIME. I MEASURED AND MY HONDA CIVIC BRAKE/GAS DISTANCE IS 2.75". THE TRUCK DISTANCE IS 2 3/8". I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THEY CLAIM THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I KNOW I'M GOING TO RUN SOMEBODY OVER OR GET IN AN ACCIDENT SOME DAY AND THIS WILL BE TO BLAME. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TRUCK. I'VE HAD IT OVER A MONTH AND AM STILL ON THE FIRST TANK OF GAS. I'M REALLY GLAD I KEPT MY HONDA CIVIC.
