NHTSA Complaint #11219649 — 2018 FORD F-150

2,363 MILES ON THE TRUCK IT DOWNSHIFTED ON THE HWY FROM 80 MPH TO 20 MPH ON ITS OWN, WITH A LOUD NOISE. HAD TO GET IN THE SLOW LANE SO NOT TO HAVE A WRECK. IT IS EQUIPPED WITH AUTO START, WHERE THE TRUCK ENGINE AUTOMATICALLY STOPS AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT AND RESTARTS ON ITS OWN. THE TRUCKED SHUT ITSELF OFF WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND HAD TO BE PUT IN PARK AND RESTARTED, ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK. TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN, WHEN IT MADE A LOUD NOISE AND FELT LIKE WE HIT SOMETHING WHEN GOING 55 MPH,THE TRUCK JOLTED WE AGAIN GOT IN THE SLOW LANE. THEN WHEN SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY THE MOTOR STARTED RACING ON ITS OWN NOT TOUCHING THE EXCELERATOR. HAD TO TURN OFF TRUCK. WE ARE AFRAID TO TAKE OUR GRANDKIDS IN OUR NEW 2018 TRUCK WE ARE PAYING DEARLY FOR. THE LAST TIME WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. WE ARE ABOUT TO RETIRE AND WANTED THIS TRUCK TO BE OUR LAST, WE HAVE NOT EVEN HAD IT A YEAR. WE HAVE DONE SOME CHECKING ONLINE, WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES EXPERIENCING THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS.
