I started to pass a vehicle, when I tried to accelerate the vehicle lost all forward momentum like it was in neutral, I pressed the gas to the floor and then engine did not raise the rpm’s and no forward increase in momentum, I then let off the gas, and then reapplied full gas and it very slowly started to move forward again. This almost caused an accident as I was passing on a 2 lane road over a broken yellow line, it just fell flat on its face.

After starting the vehicle at a motel in the morning, and backing out of the parking spot, I put the vehicle in drive and gave it a little bit of gas (wheel cranked to the left to finish turning out of the spot), and the vehicle rapidly accelerated across the parking lot. I hit the brakes and the vehicle stopped accelerating. I looked down to see the cruise control set to 15 Mph and crossed out (disengaged due to brake engagement). I never set the cruise control at that speed. To the best of my knowledge I never bumped any cruise control buttons that morning. To the best of my knowledge a software glitch caused cruise control to set and engage, from a stop, to an unsafe speed considering the circumstances.

While driving the parking break activated. I was in the middle of the road with my newborn. I believe my truck should have been recalled since this is something that other F150 had. I took it to the Ford dealership and they said there was no active recall on this vehicle. So I had them check it since it’s such a high safety concern. And yes there was a default with the parking break system.
