Problems with 2017 Ford F-150 VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Today was the worst of the 4 times that this same situation occurred. i was driving in traffic on the highway in downtown atlanta when i accelerated and switched lanes to pass a slow moving vehicle. the truck accelerated fine but would not stop accelerating when i removed my foot from the gas peddle. i had to break hard to avoid hitting another car. as soon as i removed my foot from the break, the car engine revved up and accelerated forward again even though i was not touching the gas. this went on for almost 5 minutes and was very scary. i could have easily had an accident. at first, thought is was the cruise control kicking in but it was off. each of the 4 situations occurred when trying to pass another vehicle. i reported the problem to my dealership back on august 12th when it happened the 3rd time. they could not find anything wrong. i know there is a very dangerous problem with my truck and need to find a solution before i or someone gets hurt.

In motion the throttle body is very slow in responding to commands given to it by gas pedal causing unsafe delay in acceleration and unexpected minor increase in speed in stop and go traffic.

On two occasions vehicle accelerated to the floorboard without touching pedal, nor floor mats holding pedal down. both times was forced to put truck in neutral and turn engine off. ford dealer cannot fix issue b/c cannot get problem to repeat for them

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 ford f-150. while driving 75 mph with the cruise control activated, the vehicle decelerated to 30 mph without warning. the contact stated that the vehicle exhibited the same symptoms as listed in tsb: ssm46829 (electrical system: integrated trailer brake control). the vehicle was taken to eddie preuitt ford, inc.

While accelerating to pass slow vehicle, i pulled back in lane and attempted to slow down but the accelerator was stuck and continued to accelerate up to 70 mph before i heard it release and then the truck slowed. within 20 minutes i accelerated again and once again the pedal stuck and continued to accelerate without foot pressure.

Ford f-150 lost control and accelerated coming out of car wash tunnel. car did not respond to brakes and accelerated into a building injuring driver and pedestrian.

Adaptive cruise control engages brakes for no apparent reason. no traffic or obstacle was in front of my vehicle to cause it to engage the brakes at highway speed of 70mph. messages as follows: hill descent control warning illuminated causing brakes to engage 3/14/2018. forward collision warning 3/14/2018. self-parking feature backed my vehicle into a large boulder beside my truck while parking. if it had been a person beside my truck, they could have been seriously injured or killed. happened about february 15, 2018

First event: while i was driving back from the countryside on a two way road ' single lane -, i overtook a big truck on an uphill area, and all the sudden my truck died. lost all the power and i had to make an emergency maneuver to avoid the big truck i was overtaking and also the car that appeared at the curve ahead. it was close. i almost crashed. after calmed me down, i step out of the truck, opened the capot while the engine was idling and making this huge 'valve' noise. i took my phone and recorded a video. some component on a side of the valve cover was moving and making that noise and all the sudden, i smelled gas, looked down the scape manifold and saw gas all over it. i ran back to the cabin and turned the engine off, took the extinguisher and ran back to the capot. fortunately nothing happened. second event: while driving on the highway, with the cruise control on at 120 km/h, on a pretty flat area, the gear shifted from 10 to 7 with no reason at all, and i felt like the truck started to activate the brakes. the highway was clear in front of me. no car or obstacles were near the front of the truck. seconds after that, the engine started to fail, dropping the rpms like those old mechanical carburetor stuck with a dirt and suddenly, all got back to normal. fortunately was almost reaching the toll control to access to my city. so i slowed down to 50 kms/h, put my foot on over the brakes and started to press it very gentle. suddenly and with no warning, the truck sped up itself full gas and i had to dodge a car that was in front of me driving on the line to the toll and press the brake pedal very hard. several lights invaded the dashboard; low coolant, check engine, the dash board dimmer light and others that i couldn't saw on this fast flash of lights. it was like the cpu was crazy. after that, truck went back to normal, but several obd2 errors got stored.

This is a brand new truck i have purchased about 3 weeks ago. i have noticed some strange behavior of the accelerator pedal, i had an impression that sometimes it was getting a bit stuck or changed the position on its own. today i have discovered by myself that the accelerator pedal assembly is completely loose, all 3 bolts are not torqued at all, i could turn them with my bare fingers. this explains the strange behavior i observed. last week i complained to the dealer about the rough downshifting, they did a test drive (!) and found nothing wrong. i have made a video, i hope it will better explain the nature of the problem: https://youtu.be/b9ijtdtdqya i definitely consider this a safety issue and i suspect ford does not have adequate quality control to ensure that the accelerator assembly is installed correctly. i am going to see the dealer tomorrow morning.
