While accelerating to pass slow vehicle, I pulled back in lane and attempted to slow down but the accelerator was stuck and continued to accelerate up to 70 mph before I heard it release and then the truck slowed. Within 20 minutes I accelerated again and once again the pedal stuck and continued to accelerate without foot pressure.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford F-150. Upon exiting the vehicle, while idling, the vehicle lunged in reverse at approximately 8-10 mph. A pedestrian was able to get into the vehicle and stop the acceleration. The vehicle was taken to hemborg Ford (1900 hammer ave, norco, ca), but it was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,500.

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.
