I have had two run away full accelerations in this new truck. I accelerated firmly and the accelerator refused to disengage. At over 90 mphm I put the car in neutral, the RPM increased and I shut off the key. Next time in the same drive it happened again and I immediately shut off the key. I will notify my dealer tomorrow. I will not drive in this vehicle again. As an experienced commercial Pilot I have been trained how to deal with this issue but the public has no clue what to do.

Same issues I'm reading here. Vehicle frequently makes a loud bang when started. Shifts gears extremely rough to the point where you're jerked around. No power when trying to accelerate from a stop which is extremely dangerous when cars are behind you or trying to accelerate merging onto the freeway. My truck has been to dealer twice now. The first time it was because my fuel injector went out at 4,500 miles! it doesn't run much better now. When I took it in they just blew me off and said it was 'normal behavior for the vehicle'. reading all these issues here, Ford really needs to take action! extremely dangerous!!

  • 1,000 miles
Within 30 days of purchase & approx. 1,000 miles on vehicle, the front end of the fuel tank dropped out of truck while in motion at approx. 20 mph on multi-lane Suburban street. Vehicle had been filled with fuel a few minutes prior. Driver stopped and turned off vehicle in right lane shortly after hearing dragging noise. Holes in tank caused fuel to pour out and collect on road. Fire department and police responded to neutralize fuel spill. Vehicle towed to dealer. Dealer determined fuel tank strap broke, replaced fuel tank, strap and seal under warranty. Vehicle owner sent letter to Ford Motor Company, awaiting response. Vehicle owner worried about integrity of vehicle and/or repeat issue.

This issue is happening widespead amongst owners of Ford's new 3.5L high output powertrain. Upon open throttle, the engine will instantly drop off all power, causing the truck to dangerously and unexpectedly drop to zero miles per hour. Very dangerous and life threatening while entering roadways or interstate roads with traffic. Upon open throttle, a "low oil pressure" light takes over the viewing area on the dash cluster and then disappears after restarting the vehicle. Upon restarting, the truck will fail and provide a "low oil pressure" signal again after applying open throttle. This can happen when taking off from a dead stop or under cruising speeds, when open throttle is applied, the engine fails and cuts off all power. It doesnt matter if you are turning or going straight, the issue happens regardless. Always happens under open throttle. This has become a widespead issue with owners of the truck from model year 2017-2018. Ford needs to respond and fix this issue for the safety of their customers.
