At certain speeds the car stalls when changing gears

Interior lights do not light up on opening the door. Additionally, upon starting the engine, the electrical panel blinks, fizzles, demands reset, which doesn't reset, and eventually corrects itself sometimes after 15 minutes of blinking. Additionally, the high beams implement and then you cannot make the high beams turn off. May all be related but, seems like 3 separate issues, all seem to be related to the electrical panel. Blinking begins while stationary upon starting truck and continues while in motion, indicates problem with everything electrical including speedometer and states auto locks fail, along with blinking failure of all systems stating reset but pushing reset does not appear to fix anything.....only time fixes it.

Gas and brake pedal are too close together. You could still be giving it gas while you are pushing on the brakes. I see hundreds of complaints about this online.I was pulling into a parking spot when I thought I was applying the brakes the other half of my foot was on the gas causing me to jump the curb and crash into a wall.

- Livermore, CA, USA

When stopped at a red light my engine began to rev. At very high RPM's and the tires burned out when I shifted the transmission into neutral. I purchased this truck in Dec. 2013 and this was approx. The 7th incident of sudden acceleration. It seems to only happen when stooped or slowing down. Any help in this matter would be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance.

My 2006 Ford F150 FX4 has stalled on the highway at two different times in the last 9,000 miles. I am driving at normal speeds, with normal weather conditions, half tank of gas, and I was coasting as highway speeds slowed - as I went to hit the accelerator to speed up, I lost the ability to accelerate. First the wrench dash light came on, then I noticed steering was slightly difficult and then the battery and transmission light came on. I got the vehicle to the side of the road, but I did not lose headlights, radio, heat, or power. I turned the truck off and waited 2 minutes, then it started back up - a little difficult on the starter, but it worked. I have read numerous chat forums online with users having this same issue with 2006 V8's in the F150. What is Ford doing about this" my vehicle has been meticulously maintained and cared for. From what I read this is a fuel pump control panel issue with corrosion of dissimilar metals - where is the recall"

Vehicles misfiring and stumbling during moderate accelerations and cruising when a load is put on motor. ( going up a hill, slight incline and passing). Spark plugs were unable to be removed for replacement. The spark plugs were not of good quality and would need to be replaced more often than usual. The manufacturer was made aware, however no assistance was provided. $1249 to change one spark plug.

I am 6'5" and wear size 16 shoes. With my size and the distance to the pedal my legs go a little to the side and my shoe is at an angle to the petals lets say 30 degrees. I wearing typical work boot (like in Ford commercials) which the laces have pegs the shoe laces go around. These pegs are the same as all work boots (red wings - $300 boot). What happened is because the brake pedal has a thick rubber pad that stretches around the metal brake pedal and leaves a ridge in the back of the pedal all the way around (so the rubber fitting goes over it like a shower cap). Also the truck is an automatic and the break pedal is very large. While backing up giving just a little gas my boot shoe lace peg got trapped behind the brake pedal and was holding my foot on the gas pedal depressing it down. Because the rubber ridge runs all the way around my pedal (as designed) I could not move my foot to the side of the brake pedal to release the gas. Because of the thickness of my foot when I pressed the break with my other foot, it moves the gas pedal down at the same rate as my foot is trapped, so the more you press the brake the more you give gas at a ratio that does not let me stop the vehicle. (note I use only one foot for the gas and brake normally but with my right foot trapped I had no other choice but to use my left foot to brake and try to get it the truck out of gear. I could not do anything in time and hit a stationary building. If someone was behind me, they would have been killed. The only other way I could have gotten my foot loose is to depress the gas pedal which is not an option in a lot of situations because it would make the speed of the impending impact faster and harder. This is a design flaw that traps work boots and at certain times and causes loose control.

Transmission shift cable outer sheath was melted on exhaust system. Cable had unknowingly come loose of a retaining clip and was then allowed to contact hot exhaust manifold. Melted the outer plastic of shift cable causing the shift selector to become inoperable. Shift selector could be placed in park but transmission would not be in park; if I had not realized there was a problem I could have believed the transmission was in park when it was not and the truck could have rolled freely. Truck is a well maintained 2006 Ford F150 crew cab 4X4 with the column shifter.

While pulling vehicle into garage the vehicle suddenly accelerated. I did not have a floor mat on the floor. This is about the fourth time this has happened since I bought the vehicle new. I took the vehicle to the Ford dealer approximately 2 years ago and they could not duplicate or determine the problem.

I own a 2006 Ford F150 pickup truck. On 07/15/2010 I noticed that the cruise control dashboard indicator lamp came on several times without me engaging the control. Later I during the evening I noticed not only the cruise control dashboard indicator lamp turning on and off, but also the right side steering wheel cruise control buttons were not lighting up though the headlamps were on. I attempted to get the issued repaired at the local dealer, but closest appointment was at the end of following week. Two days later, on 07/17/2010 I was operating the truck, I experienced the cruise control engaging as I accelerated. The truck continued to accelerate even though I had not engaged the cruise control, nor was my foot on the accelerator pedal. I was able to regain control by depressing the brake pedal and putting the transmission into neutral. I brought the truck to nearest Ford dealer for repair. While traveling the approximately 5 mile ride, the cruise control continue to engage on its own. The Ford dealer was able to diagnose the problem, citing a defective cruise control switch. The switch was replaced and now the vehicle appears to operating properly.
