During shifting on streets and hwy's my rpms ramp up to 3000-5000. I have been driving while maintaining speed and then the rpms will ramp up then the speed steadily drops while my foot is still on the accelerator. Turning the overdrive off seems to help occasionally. I have also attempted to brake at lights and the rpms will ramp up and lurch forward almost causing me to rear end other vehicles. This is a major…

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.…

When i started my engine it backfired. From that point on i had to press extremely hard on the brake pedal just to slow down and eventually to stop. In an emergency situation it would without a doubt have resulted in an accident. The incident is exactly as indicated in the recall nhtsa campaign number: 08v208000 (ford recall #08s05) for the same vehicle, except model year 2005 and 2006. When i contacted ford i was…

My 2007 ford f150 has a major problem, when coming to a stop at a stop sign or red light, the engine surges forward the rpm gauge will fall to 400 rpm and without warning it surges to 1000 to 1200 rpm making it hard to control the truck, i'm very disappointed with ford, i am a repeat ford customer, but with this problem with my f150 it has only 35000 miles ford will loose me as a customer for sure . *tr

While slowing down to stop the engine revved and the truck accelerated. We were out of town and within a short while the same thing happened 4 times. Now 2 more times. The dealer said it might be the throttle control box but he could do a 75 dollar diagnostic too. I declined. This has happened before but not as bad, i thought my foot hit the gas pedal which is definitely not the case. *tr

My truck accelerated on it's own while hitting the brake, i thought it might be my new mat so i removed it and it happened again. Not sure if i hit the gas pedal at the same time as the brake? I have never had this happen in all the years i drove fords or gmc. Your form would be easier if you could just type in info and boy i wish these programs would get rid of the state box and let us type it in. *tr

I decelerated and turned a corner onto a two way street. I thought i had hit ice as my 2007 f150 truck accelerated and swerved into the other lane. My foot was on the brake and my tires were screeching as i landed on a snowbank on the other side of the highway. I had to apply heavy pressure to the brake to stop! It was not human error nor ice! Very recently the speed control had stopped working on the vehicle. *tr

I was stopping and about to park into a parking stall. As i was applying my brake, the vehicle suddenly accelerated. It jumped a curb, crossed a landscape island, took down shrubs, then stopped on the other side. It happened few other times, but not to this extend. Other times i thought i may have accidentally pressed on the gas pedal, and did not pay too much attention. One other time it happened, it was raining…
