My 2001 ford f150 harley davidson truck has accelerated on it's own while i drove into a parking spot. Fortunately there was a parking cement piece that stopped my truck from hitting a wall. There seems to be no recalls on my vehicle for this issue based on the vin. It doesn't make sense. I believe that this is a safety hazard.

I own a 2001 ford f-150 with 82,000 miles on it and i have had problems with the spark plugs on the heads. There is no recall on the heads which i've read in many different websites this seems like a common problem that many 99-03 ford f-150 owners are going through. Ford motor company needs to make a recall and fix this problem soon or else they will lose a lot of customers.
