NHTSA Complaint #11092106 — 2004 FORD F-150

TAKATA RECALL, I WAS PARKING MY TRUCK IN A PARKING LOT, I STARTED THE ENGINE AND PUT IT ON R, WHEN I HEARD PARKING SENSORS SOUND I PUSHED THE BRAKE, PUT TRUCK DIDN'T STOP AND THERE WAS NO BRAKE. I PUT IT TO N THEN D TO MOVE IT FORWARD AFTER TOUCH FOR THE CAR BEHIND ME. WHEN I PUT IT TO D , THE PEDAL HANGED AND ENGINE WENT CRAZY TO 4000 RPM AND TRUCK CAME LIKE WILD HORSE WITH NO CONTROL, IT CROSSED THE PARKING LOT AND HIT ANOTHER CAR WAS PARKING IN FRONT OF ME IN THE OTHER PARKING LOT. AFTER HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT, I SUCCEEDED TO PUT IT ON P AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF. THIS CRAZY SUDDEN INCREASE IN RPM AND PEDAL STICK AND LOOSEN BRAKES ALL IN ONE SECOND WITH OUT ANY WARNING COULD KILL SOMEONE. LOOSING CONTROL IN SUCH TRUCK FOR SECONDS IS SOMETHING SCARY AND UNBELIEVABLE. PLEASE CHECK THIS GAS STICK AND BREAK SUDDEN FAILURE ISSUE , AS IT IS REALLY DANGEROUS. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE TRUCK RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION WITHOUT A SIGN FOR THAT INSTANCE CRAZY FAILURE.
