“My husband was backing out of our driveway and had sudden acceleration that spun him up onto the lawn and finally the vehicle was stopped after hitting our house and going through the wall. The truck stopped with the back wheels inside the house with the engine continuing to rev.”
NHTSA complaint #11081411, filed 2018-03, 73,000 miles“When stopped at a red light my engine began to rev. At very high RPM's and the tires burned out when I shifted the transmission into neutral. I purchased this truck in dec. 2013 and this was approx. The 7th incident of sudden acceleration. It seems to only happen when stooped or slowing down. Any help in this matter would be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance.”
NHTSA complaint #10572587, filed 2014-03, 22,000 miles“Gas and brake pedal are too close together. You could still be giving it gas while you are pushing on the brakes. I see hundreds of complaints about this online.I was pulling into a parking spot when I thought I was applying the brakes the other half of my foot was on the gas causing me to jump the curb and crash into a wall.”
NHTSA complaint #10622576, filed 2014-08, 78,000 miles“While pulling vehicle into garage the vehicle suddenly accelerated. I did not have a floor mat on the floor. This is about the fourth time this has happened since I bought the vehicle new. I took the vehicle to the Ford dealer approximately 2 years ago and they could not duplicate or determine the problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10454888, filed 2012-04, 40,121 miles“I was involved in an accident which was caused by hitting the brake pedal and the accelerator at the same time. I thought I was hitting the brake when and hit the gas at the same time causing my vehicle to rear end collide with the vehicle in front of me. Since I have been driving the vehicle this has happened several times, the gas pedal is too close in height to the brake pedal.”
