As soon as i removed my foot from the break, the car engine revved up again and quickly accelerated from 70 to 96 mph even though i was not touching the gas pedal.

Attempting to accelerate, no power. Vehicle was on 2 lane highway with concrete barriers on both sides and no shoulder. I was going approx 70 mph. I had our toddler, new born and wife in then vehicle. Vehicle slowed faster than i have ever felt before. Cars and trailers slamming on brakes. I'm assuming this did not trigger my brake lights and it was almost dark. So incredibly dangerous not to mention scary. Dash…

While driving on a busy highway with no warning my f-150 lost power. When this happened the drive power decreased by about 95%, and warnings appeared on the dashboard. These warnings included: service advance trac, hill descent fault, see manual, airbag fault, and the service wrench. The engine idled roughly and the vehicle had to be turned off.

As i was driving about 40 mph, the truck suddenly decelerated to almost a stand still. Two messages appeared on the dash board info system. Service needed for hill assist and advance trac, or something similar. I had to drive home, half mile, at a walking pace which was as fast as the truck would go. There was no warning. This is a deadly flaw. How could you not have ford f150 in your database?
