| My wife was driving her 2007 f150 crew cab with 33,000 miles. she was approaching a stop sign and the engine reved vary high and she could not stop for the intersection. fortunately there was no oncoming traffic as she shot straight through the intersection before she got the vehicle under control. she was scared to death. i called the ford dealer and they say they never heard of the problem! i told them to do an internet search and they will see thousands of documented cases but i've yet to see a solution posted. | |||

| My 2007 ford f150 has a severe safety flaw. four times so far, between march 2008 and july 2008, the vehicle has accellerated on its own when braking to stop. the truck will slow to about 10 mph then suddenly on its own the engine revs to 2000 rpms and the truck surges forward. the only way to stop it is to throw it into neutral. this almost caused several accidents . two separate ford dealers worked on this problem but both found nothing wrong even though the problem continues. i e-mailed ford on 7/23/2008 but they have not yet replied. *tr | |||

| I experienced several scary instances of unexpected acceleration with my new f150. 1) after driving ~25 miles, and driving in downtown traffic, the truck attempted to accelerate while stopped. the truck revved up and lunged forward while people were walking in front of truck. i was forced to press the brake very hard. the people walking were frightened. 2) while moving the truck in the driveway, it accelerated quickly, i slammed on the brakes, skidding several feet. 3) had several other instances. when i explained to dealer, the senior salesman told me i must have had my foot on the accelerator. this was not the case. there was no concern by the dealer to check this out. *tr | |||
