2009 Ford F-150 Problems

The gas pedal got stuck while I was driving. I couldn't stop it and lost control. It caused a horrific car accident. 10 people were involved and I'm currently fighting the case in court to prove I was not reckless. It has been inspected by my insurance but unfortunately it was only for damages and not for mechanical issues regarding the gas pedal.

WHILE IN DRIVE AT IDLE SPEED THE TRUCKS RPM JUMPED TO APPROXIMATELY 4000 RPM INSTANTLY . I HAD TO PUSH MY FOOT BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD AND PUT SHIFTER IN NEUTRAL THEN IT WAS OK FOR A WHILE THEN THIS HAPPENED AGAIN SEVERAL WEEKS LATER TOOK TO DEALER NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

This vehicle has been a lemon ever since we purchased it new. To start the 3rd brake light would always leak during rain and ruined the headliner took it back to andy mohr ford were we purchased approx 25 times for this issue. Then we have had oil leaks about a year after purchase and it still leaks. Third the fender wells are rusting. And also all the lights on the dash are lit because the computer board failed. To date the truck only has 147k miles. This truck has been a lemon the whole time we have owned it and i am tired of sinking money in this junker.

Frame of the body is completely rusted through to the point that it is almost unsafe to drive. It was identified when attempting to replace the rocker panel on the passenger side and the list put a hole in the frame. The vehicle has been well maintained but the amount of rust seems unusual for the age of the vehicle. I know the previous owner and he took painstakingly good care of the vehicle and it has been driven very little since I purchased it a couple of years back. The fix is to repair the frame at the cost of $3k plus or let it rust away completely. The amount of rust does not add up and I see similar issues with thousands of comments online.

HARD TO STEER

Random downshift to first gear while traveling down the highway at 70mph resulting in wheel lock-up and engine redline.

My vehicle occasionally gets stuck in a low gear. It has also stalled in a busy intersection. I have taken it to be diagnosed at an independent service center that specializes in transmissions and was told that the problem was the lead frame which has been recalled on later models of my vehicle.

There's been recalls on the 2009 Ford f150 and my car is having hydraulic pump issues and a couple other issues that were recalled and I was just trying to get some assistance?

Exhaust gas is leaking into cab from manifold, because several studs broke

MICHELIN HAD A SAFETY RECALL FOR DOT B99Y 56EX 3812-2113 OF ITS LTX M/S P275/55R20 111T FOR "AFFECTED TIRES COULD HAVE PARTIAL OR FULL SIDEWALL PERFORATIONS THAT COULD CAUSE THEM TO EXPERIENCE LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE ' I PURCHASED THE LTX M/S P275/55R20 DOT B79Y 56EX 1913 MADE IN THE SAME TIME FRAME FOR MY 2009 FORD F-150 ON 06/08/2013. ON AUGUST 23, 2016, WHILE ON A 70MPH HIGHWAY, I SUFFERED A BLOWOUT. THE ENTIRE ANTERIOR SIDEWALL WAS AFFECTED WITH MANY CHUNKS OF THE TIRE MISSING, WHILE THE INTERIOR SIDEWALL WAS TOTALLY UNAFFECTED. I AM CAREFUL WITH MY TIRE PRESSURES AND ROTATION. NONE OF THE TIRES SHOW UNEVEN OR ODD WEAR. I DON'T BELIEVE I RAN OVER ANYTHING. I HAVE ALL FOUR TIRES IN MY POSSESSION AND AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. I THINK MICHELIN HAS A GREATER PROBLEM THAN THE DOT RANGE OF THEIR VOLUNTARY RECALL. I THINK THE DOT NEEDS TO BE AWARE OF THIS SO THAT IF THIS PROVES TO BE A MORE WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, MICHELIN CAN BE REQUIRED TO RECALL ALL AFFECTED TIRES.

My airbag warning light came on. The dealer found 2 codes and replaced the parts. When they were done another code came up for weight sensor which is the seat frame. I was told that the part has been discontinued. I have searched for an aftermarket part with no luck. I purchased a used seat but it was not compatible I have a16 year old truck. The service life is as I understand it is 14-20 years. I don’t understand how the manufacturer can stop making safety parts while the vehicle is still in its service life

SHORTLY AFTER THAT I DROVE IT A FEW BLOCKS TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND GOT A SERVICE PERSON TO INSPECT IT AS WELL, AND HE AGREED WITH MY ASSESSMENT OF THE WAY IT BROKE. I GOT A VERBAL ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR OF THE GLASS AND THE TRACK.
