About 3 weeks ago my husbands ‘09 Ford F150 p/u ran away with us on a busy city street. It accelerated by its self while he had the brake all the way down. This was not the case of floor mats causing the problem. We ran into the back of a car before he could get it stopped, even with it in neutral it continued to lunge ahead. It happen again the same day and after that we called a wrecker and had it towed, no damage the second time. Bye bye Ford hello Cheve.

How frightening! I’m glad you all and no one else was hurt. I’ve never heard of that happening in a Ford before. However, when I was about 11, my mom mistook the gas for the brake and hit a fire hydrant. She was driving the Maverick back then.

Interesting, I have a 09 Ford F150 p/u 4x4. It is just over a year old now with 15K miles.

Did you return the truck to the dealer and if so did they offer any explanation?

I have had no similar problems thankfully. Although the SINC system did stop working about a week ago.
