This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
In July 2007, I purchased a new Ford F150 pickup truck. In December 2007, 3 times in one day I depressed the brake pedal and the truck accelerated for no apparent reason. I ran a stop sign, but luckily did not hit anything. I immediately returned the truck to the dealership, but the service department could find nothing wrong. I continued to drive the truck with no problems until January 2008, when again 3 times in one day, I depressed the brake pedal and the truck accelerated. Again, I ran a stop sign, but did not hit anything. No warning lights came on. One time I put the truck in neutral and watched the tachometer go up to 4000 rpms as the engine revved. I am absolutely certain I did not have my foot accidentally on the accelerator pedal for any of these incidences. I returned the truck to the dealership where the service department could find nothing wrong. They installed a "black box recording device" and drove the truck for 3 days, but still could find nothing wrong.
