NHTSA Complaint #11076652 — 2013 FORD F-350

WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE WHEN PARKING A TRAILER OR POSITING THE TRUCK IN A PARKING SPACE THE ENGINE WILL GO FULL THROTTLE AND WILL SPIN THE REAR WHEELS EVEN WITH YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE WITH NO WARNING. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE ENGINE IS TO TURN THE KEY OFF PUTTING IN PARK OR NEUTRAL DOES NOTHING. HAVE CALLED SEVERAL FORD DEALERS AND WAS TOLD THAT IF NO CODE WAS SET THEY COULD NOT HELP. HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND THIS HAS HAPPENED 10 TIMES TO ME. IF SOMEONE ELSE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK THEY WOULD MOST LIKELY RUN INTO SOMEONE OR SOMETHING. EVEN HOLDING THE BRAKE THE TRUCK STILL WILL MOVE OR SPIN THE REAR WHEELS DEPENDING ON THE ROAD SERVICE WHEN THIS DIESEL GOES FULL THROTTLE. NOT SAFE AT ALL. NEED SOME HELP GETTING THIS FIXED. HAS DONE IT WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE AND OR JUST GOING FROM PARK INTO DRIVE. NO REAL PATTERN WILL DO IT IN HOT WEATHER AND COLD WEATHER TEMP DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I HAVE LEARNED TO JUST REACH DOWN AND TURN THE KEY OFF WHEN THIS HAPPENS WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND IN GEAR. WILL START BACK UP AND BE AT NORMAL ENGINE SPEED. I HAVE TRIED TO MAKE IT DO THIS BY SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO MAKE THE ISSUE ACCRUE IT JUST HAPPENS.
