On April 25th, 2024 on Interstate 75 in Findlay, OH my truck had the back end lock up briefly and started to hop and fish tail. The engine RPM's went way up and the Service Light came on in the truck and the ignition was shut off (automatically and not by the key) truck had electrical power but engine was no longer running and the truck coasted to a stop on the side of the highway. I had the truck towed back to my house and I went to check for codes with my snap-on computer and no codes were present. I started the truck up and no issues were noticed. I took the vehicle to a local repair shop for further investigation. The rear differential was drained as was the transmission oil. Also the brakes were inspected. The mechanic didn't find anything that could explain the issue. He saw a rear brake pad that wasn't moving as freely as it should but explained that didn't sound like that's what the issue was. Nothing abnormal was noticed in the differential fluid or transmission fluid either. I know that Fords are having issues with the transmission shifting into first gear on its own and am wondering if that is the true issue. That is the only thing that explains what happened that day. The truck is currently running ok. I talked to the Ford dealership today and they said that they would have to confirm that that is what is happening, but it sounds highly likely that that is what happened and since the truck is currently not covered under the current recall the bill would be around $3400. I am filing this so that they and you are aware that it is possible that it is happening to the 2010 model years as well.

Takata recall: My 2010 Ford raptor with the 6.2L motor has been having a wrench light come on and I have had two quotes stating the neutral position sensor or transmission range sensor is bad. I've noticed that many recalls have been made on the Ford F-150 models starting in 2011-2014. With my vehicle being produced mid year of 2010. I feel my vehicle is part of that recall. But doesn't show in any systems. My vehicle will stay stuck in a certain gear or not start at all. I can be driving down the high way and the vehicle will shift down to first gear when the vehicle is still in drive while going 60mph. It makes the vehicle reach redline on rpms and hard to stop the vehicle.

While on my regular commute to work as I drove onto the highway frontage road I slowly began to accelerate when suddenly my truck started accelerating on its own. So much so that I was no longer controlling its speed. Realizing this I had to apply both feet simultaneously on the brakes in order to slow the vehicle enough to put it in neutral then finally I was able put it in park. Unbelievably the engine was still running at high rpms even though it was in park. It wasn't until after I turned the engine off that the RPM's stopped. Immediately after this I saw smoke coming from both of the front wheel wells. As I got out of the truck I realized that both sets of brakes were on fire. This caused irreparable damage to the braking system as the components had become extremely overheated. The instance of the engine running high rpms also occurred the night before. However this time my wife was driving. We were in a parked position after fueling up the truck and were getting ready to leave the gas station. My wife just applied the brakes and put the truck back in park then the RPM's calmed down. We just kind of dismissed it until less than 12 hours later the above mentioned incident occurred. Coincidence I think not.

I was driving along the highway, at approximately 60 mph, attempting to pass another vehicle. When I pressed on the accelerator it got stuck, the gas pedal went to the floor and truck accelerated rapidly on it's own. I mashed the brakes to the floor and the engine continued to rev and over power the brakes. I put my truck in neutral, and after an abrupt jerk, I pulled over to the far lane as the tires screeched to a stop. There was no shoulder and there were guard rails blocking me from getting to the median and no exits nearby, all the while the truck is continuing to rev out. I shut my truck off with the key, as soon as I could, to avoid damaging the engine or transmission due to the high rpms. After we sat, stopped, on the far lane of the highway for about 30 seconds (cars flying by honking) I tried to start the truck back up and it wouldn't start, turned it over again and it started. Obviously, this was a very dangerous situation, as we were on a 4 lane highway with traffic going 60+ mph all around us, my wife and 2 small children were in the truck at the time. There should be some kind of brake override for an unintended and out of control acceleration like what we experienced. I woke up the next morning with a crick in my neck, hopefully it's just stress and not an actual injury. I'm thankful no one was seriously hurt. Ford, you need to do something about this before someone gets injured, or worse.

- Malakoff, TX, USA

While breaking to stop at an intersection the truck unintentionally accelerates and will not stop. The ABS brake pulsations continued walking the F150 into the intersection as the engine rpms climbes. I put it in neutral, the engine revves very high, I released the brake and then slammed it back down. The rpms drop to normal and the truck stoppes. It has done this once every year since 2011. It shows no trouble codes and won't do it for the Ford service technicians.

Accelerator stuck to floorboard. Applied maximum braking until brakes faded and were no longer effective in deceleration. Turned off ignition and coasted to the curb. After 3-5 minutes, restarted the engine and vehicle functioned normally. Purchased this truck used and this was the first time the accelerator was applied fully. It will be the last.

When I try to start my car all of the warning lights and theft lights flash and the vehicle won't turn. If I leave it for some time and come back and try it, sometimes it will work. When it does work it's only briefly, the A/C goes out but still blows air, the instruments including speedometer go to zero even when I'm on the highway. This is a huge issue due to safety and reliability. I've taken it to a Ford dealership, they held it for two weeks and gave it back to me saying it was working fine. On my way back from the dealership, the same thing happened again. This has been a huge hassle and I've had to miss work because of it.
