“Takata recall: my 2010 Ford raptor with the 6.2l motor has been having a wrench light come on and I have had two quotes stating the neutral position sensor or transmission range sensor is bad. I've noticed that many recalls have been made on the Ford F-150 models starting in 2011-2014. With my vehicle being produced mid year of 2010. I feel my vehicle is part of that recall. But doesn't show in any systems. My vehicle will stay stuck in a certain gear or not start at all. …”

“While breaking to stop at an intersection the truck unintentionally accelerates and will not stop. The ABS brake pulsations continued walking the f150 into the intersection as the engine rpms climbes. I put it in neutral, the engine revves very high, I released the brake and then slammed it back down. The rpms drop to normal and the truck stoppes. It has done this once every year since 2011. It shows no trouble codes and won't do it for the Ford service technicians.”

“While on my regular commute to work as I drove onto the highway frontage road I slowly began to accelerate when suddenly my truck started accelerating on its own. So much so that I was no longer controlling its speed. Realizing this I had to apply both feet simultaneously on the brakes in order to slow the vehicle enough to put it in neutral then finally I was able put it in park. Unbelievably the engine was still running at high rpms even though it was in park. It wasn't until after I turned the engine off that the RPM's stopped. …”

“I was driving along the highway, at approximately 60 MPH, attempting to pass another vehicle. When I pressed on the accelerator it got stuck, the gas pedal went to the floor and truck accelerated rapidly on it's own. I mashed the brakes to the floor and the engine continued to rev and over power the brakes. I put my truck in neutral, and after an abrupt jerk, I pulled over to the far lane as the tires screeched to a stop. There was no shoulder and there were guard rails blocking me from getting to the median and no exits nearby, all the while the truck is continuing to rev out. …”

“Hi, on monday, january 25, 2010, I test drove a 2010 Ford 150 supercrew 2wd pickup truck (with the salesman). A few feet out of the dealer lot I floored the accelerator to see what kind of acceleration the vehicle had. After releasing my foot completely from the accelerator and applying the brake, I noted that the accelerator was still acting as if it was about half way down. I mentioned to the salesman that the gas pedal was still down despite my foot being off of it and on the brake. …”
