Then get rid of it! If you're that unhappy, get rid of it. Every vehicle manufacturer turn out individual vehicles that have problems, it happens. Sucks that your personal truck happened to have some issues, but it does happen.

 

Well i guess you've had your head buried in the sand as well... Toyota is recalling some 750,000 vehicles (Tundra, Sequoia), the LARGEST EVER, for failing front ball joints causing them to lose control. No manufacturer is perfect, get over it. If you're unhappy with the f-150 sell it and go buy a chevy, and i'll see you in about a month when you're bitching about, dashboard cracks, rattles, a blown tranny,or rear diff.

 

next time hit the brake or perhaps not be 4ft from the car in front of you.

blaming that on ford is weak IMO. probably user error.

 

Ding Ding, I think we have a winner here..

 

There is no way that the Ford engine will overpower the brakes.

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

 

"driver error". that's a good one. don't blame a truck that surges forward while your foot is nowhere near the gas pedal? you guys should all go into comedy.

 

did you forget about the brake pedal? or did that fail too?

 

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.

 

So wait you dont keep your foot on the brake at a stop normally? 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.

 

That's it, everyone write a letter to Ford, we need to make sure they know that their trucks move forward while in gear (unless you have your foot on the brake).

 

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.

 

Wow, you are soooo smart. Maybe Ford should let you run the company.....
