“My 2005 Ford f150 has been experiencing sua, sudden unintended acceleration since the day I bought it new off a Ford dealer lot. This is not driver error or floor mats like Ford explans as the problem. Sua does exsist. Complaints peaked in 2005 Ford trucks!

Has happened in both forward and reverse mode. …”
NHTSA complaint #11218744, filed 2019-06, 16,000 miles“I have read many complaints just like mine, Ford told some people they had way too many complaints to do anything about a recall on this.
