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 have contacted ford but they say that they do not know of any problems. My truck was not under a warranty and ford…

We purchased the vehicle new. Before it was a year old, we heard a knocking sound. We were told it was normal. After a couple of years, the knocking got louder, took it to the dealer ship, they said it was normal. As the years passed, we asked other dealerships, repair shops, and there was never a recall. We were always told not to worry about it. The knocking sound got louder, the engine was bogging and today it is…
