Or was that someting new ford is building into their trucks now.....anticipatory acceleration maybe? the truck sensed the light was about to change so the engine revved without me touching the gas pedal? yeah....top notch quality.
blaming that on ford is weak IMO. probably user error.

None......zero, zilch, nada.
This is clearly a case of driver error.
Don't blame the truck because you don't know how to drive.

so glad to see that EVERYBODY is not on Ford's @55.....dang, all new vehicles have problems from time to time......remember, they are built by humans or machines built and programmed by humans....things slip by sometime, don't care if its a blue oval, bowtie or whatever the hell those things are on the other trucks. i have an 06 f150 SCrew and have had a couple of very minor things that i even feel bad about mentioning...i guess that is why i am just going in to get my 3000 mile service (bought my truck 8/29/06) and get the 3 minor things i have found wrong fixed by the dealer. hey, if i had the bitching problems some of you guys are complaining so much about----i'd trade and get off the f150 forums and quit telling those of us who are pretty well satisfied about how bad our trucks are......duh

nope brakes didn't fail........yet. i hit them and that helped to keep the hit to just a tap thankfully. no body damage done. thanks for your concern.
Might be a good idea to change that practice...

At least I'm not to the only one who noticed that he didn't have his foot on the brake the whole time.

From a design standpoint it is impossible for your engine to create enough tq at idle to overpower the brakes in the first place.
ALSO keep in mind there are not one, not two, but THREE pedal sensors as well as an "e-quizzer" along with the ECU to check and validate all three signals. IF one signal shall fall it will calculate the missing signal. IF two should fail you will throw a code and your truck would see limited power.
So that e-quizzer says you are lying because it needs YOU to tell it what to do.
