| On february 21, 2009, i purchased a 2008 ford f-350 from el cajon ford. since that time, i have experienced at least six incidents of accidentally pressing the accelerator pedal while my foot is operating the brake pedal. the latest incident was on 9/21/2009, and occurred while backing the truck into a parking space. i came extremely close to hitting a concrete block wall. these incidents are quite frightening, and i am concerned that it is only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured. this latest incident has left me so startled, that i am afraid to continue to drive the vehicle. i have owned two other ford f-350 trucks, a 1990 (9 years), and a 1999 (10 years). in the 19 years and 350,000 miles i drove those two trucks, i never, ever, had this occur with either vehicle. there is obviously something different about the 2008. i believe that the separation of the brake and gas pedals is insufficient. i have researched this issue on two ford truck internet forums, and have discovered that i am not the only person experiencing this issue. *tr | |||
