2009 FORD F-150 PICKUP TRUCK 4.6 L EFI V8 ENGINE ACCELORATOR STICKS WHEN BRAKE APPLIED. HAS DONE THIS 6 TIMES SO FAR (ONCE IN REVERSE) AND THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 1480 MILES. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE ENGINE IS COLD OR WARM. THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO SURGE AHEAD EVEN AS I APPLY EXTREME BRAKE PRESSURE. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TRUCK INTO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. I LEFT IT WITH THEM SEVERAL DAYS. THEY SAY THEY CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM UNLESS THEY CAN REPLICATE IT. THEY RETURNED THE TRUCK TO ME. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN, TWICE, TODAY (6 FEBRUARY 2010) *CN

SEAT CUSHIONS KEPT COMING LOOSE ON BOTH SEATS,MY DEALER SAID IN OCT.2009 FORD HAS A FIX BUT AS OF FEB.1,2010 MY DEALER STILL HAS NO PARTS TO FIX. I TOOK MY NEW 2009 F-150 TO A AUTO UPHOLSTERY SHOP AND HAD REPAIRED. I PAID $40 TO HAVE BOTH SEATS REMOVED AND REPAIRED. DEALER WON'T REFUND MY MONEY, TRUCK HAS 5,823 MILES AND PURCHASED NEW 5-26-2009. ALSO THE HEAD RESTRAINTS ARE TOO BIG AND LEAN FORWARD TOO MUCH PLUS THEY CREATE A BLIND SPOT WHEN BACKING UP. *TR

MY 2009 F 150 ROLLED BACKWARDS DOWN A HILL WHEN IN PARK WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND NO ONE INSIDE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (UNDER WARRANTY) BUT THEY SCRATCHED THEIR HEAD AND SAID USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I LEARNED OTHERS (GOOGLE SEARCH) HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN. *TR

THE BRAKE SYSTEM PERFORMS POORLY. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS A SOFT FEEL TO IT UNLESS I PUMP THE PEDAL 2 OR 3 TIMES. IT ACTS LIKE THERE IS AIR IN THE SYSTEM. THE DEALER STATES THIS FEEL IS NORMAL AND TOOK NO ACTION. ALSO, THE BRAKES HAVE ON 2 OCCASIONS BARELY WORKED, I HAVE NEEDED TO USE BOTH FEET FULL FORCE TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER TODAY AND THEY STATE THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR
