general problems of the 2009 Ford F-150

While in drive at idle speed the trucks rpm jumped to approximately 4000 rpm instantly . I had to push my foot brake as hard as I could and put shifter in neutral then it was ok for a while then this happened again several weeks later took to dealer no check engine light could not find a problem very dangerous situation.

Two separate times driving in motion while pressing down the accelerator, the car jumps to 6000+ rpm and would not slow down or respond to brakes. The only way to stop was to force truck into neutral and turn off engine coasting to a stop.

Purchased vehicle in Nov 2018, less than one year than the date of this claim. On nine different occasions my vehicle experienced one or more of the following: loss of all electrical power, steering, acceleration control, fuel pump/injectors, timing of the rpm, and other related issues leaving me stranded in the middle of nowhere, immediately and instantaneously stalled out on highways and major freeways without warning, some of which nearly led to vehicular accidents from sudden loss of all electronic equipment and power of the truck, with hundreds of individuals having experienced the same or similar issues with this year and model F-150. In the midst of all of this, I've spent over $3,500+ in repairs between the date of purchase to date of this claim to the ecm, fuel pump module, fuel injector harness, battery, ignition switch, mass flow air sensor, camshaft position sensors, serpentine belt, and normal maintenance, and have been informed that I now need a new engine, another $5,000 on top of the present $6,784 lien currently on the vehicle. The physical safety of myself and others has not only been placed in jeopardy, but this issue and vehicle has placed me in a serious, delinquent, and seemingly impossible financial position. I can't even get the car to run now, it will not drive after the engine suddenly stalled out 15 days ago as I lost all ability to accelerate on freeway; engine was overheating and had no oil pressure. Timing chains, rod, main bearing and camshafts all need repair with no guarantee that I won't be placed in the same or similar position again if I were to correct, possible bankruptcy if left uncorrected. Ford wants $400 more for inspection, makes no guarantee all issues will he identified and refuses to make repairs or take responsibility for their faulty 5. 4l v8 triton engine & electrical system that are �built Ford tough. � please help.

Tl the contact owns a 2009 Ford F-150. While driving approximately 65 mph on a highway in an active construction zone, the accelerator pedal automatically dropped to the floorboard. The contact depressed the brake pedal to the floorboard, but the vehicle did not decelerate. The contact stated that he lost complete control of the vehicle and turned into a ditch to avoid a crash. The air bags did not deploy. While in the ditch, the vehicle was placed into neutral and the engine was shut off; however, the rear wheels kept spinning for thirty seconds. The contact had to apply full pressure to the accelerator pedal before it would disengage. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and could not assist. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 107,365.

My truck stalled while entering freeway lanes. I went from 60mph to 10mph and was nearly read ended. The truck finally stalled just as I made it to the shoulder. Two hours later, my truck stalled while doing 40mph on a surface street. I had to pull into a center turn lane to avoid blocking traffic. Fuel was at half a tank. Oil level was good.

The contact also stated that the revolutions per minute increased to high and the brake light was illuminated. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 98,000.

While in motion making a three point turn to turn around, the engine speed (rpm) increased causing truck to accelerate forward. Service brakes did not stop the truck. I put the truck transmission into neutral while depressing the service brake pedal, the truck stopped and I shutoff the engine and restarted. This issue has happened at least 6 times.

The brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle resumed acceleration. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road with the brake pedal depressed and turned off the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed, but the cause of the failure was not found. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 73,000.

Traveling at 65 mph on the express way, I took my foot off the accelerator and the truck took off, accelerating as if it was being floored!. I hit the brake pedal but the engine still continued to rev itself and accelerate. I thought it might be a stuck floor mat but nothing was in the way. I hit the brake pedal again and popped the gear shifter into neutral. This stopped the engine from revving itself and accelerating. I took the vehicle into the dealership, and they claim to have never heard of anything like this and can't find anything wrong with the vehicle! thank god I did not smash into the vehicle that was in front of me.

While driving 60 mph, I left off the accelerator to slow down to 45 mph the posted speed limit ahead. At 45 mph, I slightly touched the accelerator to maintain the 45 mph speed limit, the rpm's went over 4000 and would not stop. I applied the brake, but the engine kept the rpm's between 4000 and 4200. I stomped on the brake with both feet and the un-intended acceleration stayed at the higher rpm. I could hear the anti-lock brakes engage to help slow the truck down, but the engine labored over 4000 rpm. I was concerned with not being able to stop the truck, so I shifted the transmission into neutral and coasted to the berm of the road with the engine staying at a very high rpm. Once I came to a complete stop, I shifted the truck into park and the rpm's were over 6000. I immediately shut off the engine and waited a few seconds before trying to re-start the truck. I checked the condition of the floor mat ASAP to verify it was not on top of the accelerator. This happened to my wife less than a year ago and nothing was found at the Ford dealership and the ogc reviews suggested that the floor mat may have caused the first un-intended acceleration. As I turned the key, the engine would not start and it made a clicking noise. I got out of the truck and opened the hood to check the motor. I could not see anything, so I went back into the cab and started the truck. It started, but would not idle, the rpm's went to over 6000 and stayed constant. I shut the truck off again and waited a few seconds and on the third attempt, I shut the truck back off, because the rpm's would not idle and went to 6000 and stayed there. I adjusted the power adjustable foot pedals and waited a few seconds and the truck started and idled at normal rpm's. I left the truck at the dealership on 7/31/13 for an inspection.

Just got onthe expressway from the on ramp and had speed up faster due to on-coming traffic not slowing. I stepped on the gas pedal and accelerated. Took my foot off the gas but kept going faster. I used both feet on the brake to slow down but the engin kept accelerating. I took right foot and stomped the gas pedal and released it. That got the pedel unstuck and I returned to a safer speed. I travel the same way to work and this has happened 4 times so far. The last two of which I am sure that it was not the floor mat.

While merging onto the interstate I accelerated to 65-70 mph. Once on the interstate I let off of the accelerator but the truck continuted acceleration up to 90mph while holding at 4000 rpms. Brakes were applied to help control the vehicle speed while I shifted to neutral and pulled into the emergncy lane. Once stopped and in park vehicle continued to hold 4000 rpms. I shut the vehicle off then restarted and the rpms jumped to 4000 immediately. I shut off again left off for 15 minutes, pressed the accelerator a few times to make sure it wasn't sticking to anything (it was not) and restarted. At this time the vehicle appeared to work normally, drove on home. Took the truck to the dealer the following Monday, left it for them on Tuesday. They said there were no codes and could not replicate the issue and therefore nothing they could do. This is the ninth problem I have had to take the truck in to have fixed under the warranty.

After restarting, the engine exhibited an extreme increase in rpms. The contact shut the engine back off and heard a popping sound from the accelerator pedal. The contact drove the vehicle to the dealer for diagnostic testing where the technician stated that the floor mat may have become stuck to the accelerator pedal. The contact believed that the failure was not related to the floor mat. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 56,000.

Driving a 2009 Ford F-150 I was just past the grain valley exit eastbound I-70 heading back to columbia. I was in the left hand lane and pressed the accelerator to get past a car in the right hand lane. When I took my foot off the gas, the rpms went way up, as if it were floored, and the truck tried to accelerate. While there was a car in front of me, luckily there wasn't one to my right. I stood on the brakes and swerved to the right. Standing on the brakes I was able to keep the speed between 60-70 mph, I threw on the emergency lights and pulled onto the shoulder. After maybe a hundred yards and throwing on the e-brake and hitting the brakes I was able to slowly bring the speed down at which point I turned the truck off. After waiting a while on the shoulder I turned the truck back on and everything seemed normal, I put the truck into drive and began to slowly press on the accelerator to get back on the highway. It was then that the rpm's again kicked way up and the truck began to try and take off. Luckily I wasn't going very fast and rode the brakes and turned the truck off. I then called a tow truck. There were no injuries. The extent of damage to the truck is unknown as it has not been taken to the dealer yet to get fixed.

2009 Ford F-150, 4. 6l super crew. Pulled into driveway and stopped to allow passengers to disembark just outside of opened garage door. Once passengers entered house through door at front of garage, I removed my foot from the brake and pressed on accelerator to pull in. Vehicle suddenly surged forward and engine began to rev very high. Immediately pulled foot off accelerator pedal and pressed hard on brakes. Vehicle continued to surge forward and increase rpms. Unable to stop, vehicle slammed into front of garage wall. Airbags did not deploy, engine only stopped high revs and slowly returned to idle shortly after impact.

After applying the brakes, there was a sudden reduction in the speed rate and the vehicle resumed as normal. The failure recurred on six different occasions. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was unavailable.

2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck 4. 6 l efi v8 engine accelorator sticks when brake applied. Has done this 6 times so far (once in reverse) and the truck only has 1480 miles. It does not matter if the engine is cold or warm. The truck continues to surge ahead even as I apply extreme brake pressure. I have taken this truck into the dealer where I purchased the truck. I left it with them several days. They say they cannot fix the problem unless they can replicate it. They returned the truck to me. The problem happened again, twice, today (6 February 2010).

On January 2, 2010, in austin, texas, I was accelerating in a 2009 Ford F-150 supercrew to enter a restricted access highway and the accelerator pedal became lodged on an aftermarket weathertech brand floor mat at fairly close to full throttle. Fortunately, there was no one in my lane directly in front of me. I was able to switch the vehicle off, shift to neutral and hold my lane position as I brought the truck to a stop. I dislodged the accelerator from the mat and then removed the mat. At that point, I restarted the vehicle and was able to continue my trip. I purchased the mats directly from weathertech on Dec 27,2008. Shortly after I received the mats, weathertech then sent me replacement mats for the driver and front passenger. There was no explanation for the replacement mats. Curious as to the reason and concerned that I was being charged again for mats, my wife called weathertech's service line. She was told that weathertech was not "satisfied with the fit" of the first set of mats that we received. There was certainly no indication that there was any safety issue with the original mats. I compared the new mats to the original ones and could see no substantial difference, so I did not replace them, and simply put the new mats in my garage, unused. After the Jan 2, 2010 event, I realized that there was indeed a change. A change that I now know to be very significant. The replacement mat has a ?cut out? for the accelerator pedal to prevent the lower end of the pedal from hanging up on the mat. Obviously, I have now switched out the old mat for the new one. I certainly applaud the redesign. My concern is that I received no warning or indication from weathertech that replacing the driver?s mat was an urgent safety matter that could result in death or injury if not performed promptly. I notified weathertech of my concern in January 2010 and have received no response.

The contact owns a 2009 Ford f150. The contact was driving approximately 55 mph. When pressure was applied to the accelerator pedal there was no power response. The gear was shifted into neutral causing the engine to revv high. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road and turned the engine off. The vehicle restarted to normal operation. The failure occurred on five separate occasions while traveling at any speed. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was 5,100. The current mileage was 5,200. Updated 11/16/10.

While driving my 2009 Ford truck I left a stop sign rapidly and pressed the accelerator down firmly, it stuck to the floor. I depressed the brake as hard as I could hoping the pedal would come off the floor. Then I tried to shift the truck in neutral but the motor raced. A car was coming up behind me so I put in drive turned hard off the road with the wheels spinning and shut the key off in gear. I drove the truck home and parked it. I latter discovered that the accelerator was catching on the rubber floor mat that came with the vehicle. I lowered the power pedals to decrease the distance between the pedals but when I reenacted the event for a coworker the pedal stuck to the floor again.
