NHTSA Complaint #11282535 — 2017 FORD F-150

TODAY WAS THE WORST OF THE 4 TIMES THAT THIS SAME SITUATION OCCURRED. I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY IN DOWNTOWN ATLANTA WHEN I ACCELERATED AND SWITCHED LANES TO PASS A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE. THE TRUCK ACCELERATED FINE BUT WOULD NOT STOP ACCELERATING WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDDLE. I HAD TO BREAK HARD TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER CAR. AS SOON AS I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BREAK, THE CAR ENGINE REVVED UP AND ACCELERATED FORWARD AGAIN EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT TOUCHING THE GAS. THIS WENT ON FOR ALMOST 5 MINUTES AND WAS VERY SCARY. I COULD HAVE EASILY HAD AN ACCIDENT. AT FIRST, THOUGHT IS WAS THE CRUISE CONTROL KICKING IN BUT IT WAS OFF. EACH OF THE 4 SITUATIONS OCCURRED WHEN TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO MY DEALERSHIP BACK ON AUGUST 12TH WHEN IT HAPPENED THE 3RD TIME. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I KNOW THERE IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK AND NEED TO FIND A SOLUTION BEFORE I OR SOMEONE GETS HURT.
