This is a brand new truck I have purchased about 3 weeks ago. I have noticed some strange behavior of the accelerator pedal, I had an impression that sometimes it was getting a bit stuck or changed the position on its own. Today I have discovered by myself that the accelerator pedal assembly is completely loose, all 3 bolts are not torqued at all, I could turn them with my bare fingers. This explains the strange behavior I observed. Last week I complained to the dealer about the rough downshifting, they did a test drive (!) and found nothing wrong. I have made a video, I hope it will better explain the nature of the problem: https://youtu. Be/b9ijtdtdqya I definitely consider this a safety issue and I suspect Ford does not have adequate quality control to ensure that the accelerator assembly is installed correctly. I am going to see the dealer tomorrow morning.
While driving, my 2017 Ford F-150 with the 6-speed automatic will sometimes suddenly downshift on its own. This causes a hard jerk and a sudden change in speed, which feels unsafe especially at higher speeds. At other times, the truck will not shift into gear at all. For example, when backing out of a driveway or parking spot in reverse and then shifting into drive, the truck stalls. The only way to fix it is to put the truck completely in park, shut it off, and restart it before it will go into gear. This has forced me to be stopped in the middle of the road after backing out, waiting for the truck to restart, which is extremely dangerous when there is oncoming traffic. This has been occurring off and on for a long time now not just one date.
