Consumer Description

WHEN THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED THE ENGINE ACCELERATES (NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN). I HAVE HAD THREE INSTANCES OVER THE TOTAL 8 YEARS (FIRST OWNER). ALL THREE TIMES THE BRAKES ARE INEFFECTIVE IN STOPPING THE VEHICLE. TWO TIMES BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY (AFRAID THAT THE TRUCK WOULD CROSS OVER MY ROAD AND HIT NEIGHBOR'S VEHICLES OR HOME. ONCE IT OCCURRED AT A ALL STOP INTERSECTION. IN MOST CASES I HAD TO TAKE THE TRUCK OUT OF DRIVE TO STOP IT. I'M AFRAID IT IS GOING TO CAUSE SERIOUS ISSUE WITH LIFE AND PROPERTY. THERE ARE NINE OTHER REPORTED CASES OF THIS HAPPENING ON 2008 F-150 VEHICLES SEE WEBSITE FOR THE NINE REPORTED CASES ( HTTP://M.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/FORD/F-150/2008/ENGINE/UNINTENDED_ACCELERATION.SHTML). I THINK THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY STICKING BUT HAVE NO IDEA. I CHECKED FORD AND THERE IS NO KNOWN RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. SO FAR NO INJURIES OR DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY HAS OCCURRED WITH ME BUT SOME OF THE NINE OTHER CASES HAS OCCURRED. WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP SO THERE ARE NO FATALITIES REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
