The contact owns a 2018 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle started shaking abnormally as if there was a blowout of one of the rear tires. The contact released the accelerator pedal and noticed there was no blowout. The contact then depressed the accelerator pedal and the shaking returned.

Before the V8 gasoline engine reaches some prescribed operating temperature ( before the engine is fully warmed up ), when headed downhill, no low gears function in any mode and the engine experiences sudden unintended acceleration. The truck was purchased new in 2018. The Ford company has repeatedly acknowledged the defects, and however claims that all 2018 gasoline powered F250S are designed that way to meet certain standards and therefore everything is fine despite being extremely dangerous in certain circumstances. Please contact me for further elaboration with names, dates, and places. Thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
