Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I returned my Ford F-150 to the dealership for the third time to correct the problem with the brake pedal traveling past the accelerator pedal during normal braking. Ford is not recognizing the problem and the dealership sales manager acknowledges he has replicated the problem intermittently; however, because Ford refuses to acknowledge the problem there is nothing they can do. …”
NHTSA complaint #10496797, filed 2013-02, 52,148 miles“Takata recall inflators have been removed. Instrument panel displays tire inflation warning always. The main safety issue I see with this vehicle is the brake and accelerator pedals are to close to each other and are not adjustable. The issue comes about when depressing brake to shift from park to drive or reverse. I am aware of this and it still happens sometimes. Sometimes the motor revs but vehicle will stay stationary. Sometimes there's more pressure on accelerator than brake pedal and the vehicle will lurch forward or backward. …”
NHTSA complaint #11073374, filed 2018-02, 195,000 miles“While under warranty the rotors became warped. I took the truck into the dealer and they ground the rotors which made them thinner and more vulnerable to warping which occurred immediately. Ford refused to replace the rotors. The pads were fine indicating that the problem was not an operator problem. I took the truck to an independent repair shop where they concluded that the rotors were not sufficient for the vehicle. They replaced the rotors with a more substantial rotor at a cost of $1400 and I have had no problem since.”
NHTSA complaint #11006246, filed 2017-07, 17,000 miles“I have a 2007 Ford, f150 extended cab, the brake rotor have warped. This could be a safety problem if this a regular occurrence with this model. The shop which I carried my vehicle to told me that if the company used certain brands of rotors that were made in foreign countries won't stand up to heat. If Ford used these products on the assembly line because they're cheaper, something should be done.”
NHTSA complaint #10277344, filed 2009-07, 38,255 miles“Over the past six weeks, I have encountered three events in which my vehicle was accelerating while I had my foot on the brake. The first time, the truck was attempting to pull forward, vibrating, and revving the engine while I was stopped at a light .I thought it was a fluke or an error on my part and disregarded it. The second and third time, I was trying to slow down for the light with vehicles ahead of me. Instead of stopping as I was depressing the brake, the engine began to rev and pull forward. …”
