SEAT BELTS
SEAT BELT MECHANISM IN THE DRIVERS SIDE, REAR DOOR FAILS TO RECOIL BACK THEREFORE, THE MAIN MECHANISM AT THE BOTTOM TWISTS AND I AM NOT ABLE TO EXTEND THE SEAT BELT SAFELY UNLESS I REOPEN THE DOOR AND UNWIND THE SEAT BELT (THIS HAPPENS BEFORE I PUT MY TRUCK IN MOTION AND SOMETIMES I DO NOT REALIZE IT IS TWISTED UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND UNTWIST THE SEAT BELT).....ALSO, THIS HAS CAUSED THE RUBBER/PLASTIC PIECE ALONG THE SIDE OF THE FLOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE TO TEAR, EXPOSING WIRES, WHICH ARE ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AS I WAS BACKING THE TRUCK INTO THE GARAGE, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE BECAUSE MY DRIVEWAY HAS AN DECLINE, THE TRUCK TOOK OFF. IN OTHER WORDS UNINTENDED ACCERLATION. THE ENGINE RPMS WENT VERY HIGH AND THE TRUCK WENT VERY FAST IN REVERSE HITTING MY GARAGE WALL AND MY FATHER WHO UNFORTUNATELY WAS IN THE WAY. ONCE THE TRUCK TOOK OFF I DESPERATELY TRIED PUSHING ON THE BRAKES AND SLAMMING THE TRUCK INTO PARK BUT THE TRUCK DIDN'T STOP UNTIL IT HIT THE GARAGE WALL. MY FATHER SUFFERED A BROKEN LEG BUT WAS INCHES AWAY FROM BEING KILLED. THE TIRE TRACKS ON THE GARAGE FLOOR SHOWED DRAG MARKS AS IF THE FRONT WHEELS HAD LOCKED UP AS THE BACK WHEELS SPED UP. THIS WAS A HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO WHY FORD VEHICLES ARE DOING THIS. THERE IS NO WAY MY FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATION, ALTHOUGH THIS IS WHAT THE MANUFACTURE IS GOING TO CLAIM.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, I ACCELERATED RAPIDLY AND LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL ONCE I REACHED THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT...THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN !! I HAD TO STOMP ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN, THREW IT IN NEUTRAL AND ROLLED TO A SCARY STOP. THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO REV TO 4000 RPM'S WHILE IN NEUTRAL. MY WIFE JUMPED OUT OF TRUCK WHILE WE WERE AT A RED LIGHT. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF TRUCK. WHILE TRUCK WAS REVVING IN NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN, I TRIED STOMPING ON GAS PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES TO TRY TO STOP IT FROM REVVING TO NO AVAIL. I FINALLY TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTED IT A FEW MINUTES LATER, THE TRUCK IDLED NORMAL. I IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO TRY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL THE FLOOR MAT DID NOT INTERFERE WITH THE PEDAL. I DO HAVE A VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT ON MY PHONE. *TR

WHEN OPENING THE LEFT REAR DOOR FROM INSIDE WHILE IT IS STATIONARY, THE HANDLE DOES NOT RETURN TO THE STOWED POSITION AFTER OPENING THE DOOR UNLESS IT IS PUSHED MANUALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE IN ADDITION TO ANOTHER UNRELATED ISSUE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED THAT THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE EXACTLY WHAT WAS MENTIONED IN A RECALL I FOUND INVOLVING THIS MODEL/YEAR VEHICLE (RECALL NUMBER 11V04900, RECALL DATE 02/01/2011). THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ANY OPEN RECALLS, BUT WOULD INSPECT THE IT ANYWAY. THE DEALER DID VERIFY THE CONDITION AND PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE TO REPAIR IT. THE ESTIMATE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE/DAMAGED COMPONENTS WAS HIGHER THAN THE I WAS WILLING TO PAY, SO THE REPAIR WAS DECLINED. *TR
