I EXPERIENCED SEVERAL SCARY INSTANCES OF UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION WITH MY NEW F150. 1) AFTER DRIVING ~25 MILES, AND DRIVING IN DOWNTOWN TRAFFIC, THE TRUCK ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE WHILE STOPPED. THE TRUCK REVVED UP AND LUNGED FORWARD WHILE PEOPLE WERE WALKING IN FRONT OF TRUCK. I WAS FORCED TO PRESS THE BRAKE VERY HARD. THE PEOPLE WALKING WERE FRIGHTENED. 2) WHILE MOVING THE TRUCK IN THE DRIVEWAY, IT ACCELERATED QUICKLY, I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, SKIDDING SEVERAL FEET. 3) HAD SEVERAL OTHER INSTANCES. WHEN I EXPLAINED TO DEALER, THE SENIOR SALESMAN TOLD ME I MUST HAVE HAD MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. THERE WAS NO CONCERN BY THE DEALER TO CHECK THIS OUT. *TR

THE AIR-CONDITIONER HAS NOT COOLED PROPERLY SINCE DAY OF PURCHASE.THE DEALERSHIP TRIED REPAIRING IT BY FLUSHING THE A/C SYSTEM AND REFILLING IT WITH FREON.
