When stopped at a red light my engine began to rev. At very high RPM's and the tires burned out when I shifted the transmission into neutral. I purchased this truck in dec. 2013 and this was approx. The 7th incident of sudden acceleration. It seems to only happen when stooped or slowing down. Any help in this matter would be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Unintended acceleration has occurred four times within a year on my 2006 ford f150. Happens at low speed when I touch the brake pedal. Pumping or jamming on the brake seems to stop it. This is definitely not a case of my foot hitting both pedals at once. It hasn't caused an accident yet but easily could do so in the wrong situation. I'm filing the most recent incident.

This involves a 2006 ford f-150 4x4 supercrew pickup with automatic transmission and adjustable pedals. On at least 7 occasions I or my uncle have experienced incidents of unintended acceleration with this pickup. All cases occurred when maneuvering the pickup at low speeds, such as parking or backing the pickup up. These unintended accelerations are caused by the foot, while on the brake pedal, coming into contact with the accelerator pedal. The gap between the brake and accelerator pedal is too close, causing a foot that is on the edge of the brake pedal to come into contact with the accelerator pedal when braking. This results in the engine revving up and causing the vehicle to lurch forward approximately 8 to 12 feet, until the brakes are engaged and the vehicle comes to a complete stop. My uncle and myself have experienced this phenomenon on my uncles 2004 ford f-150, which I reported to the nhsta.
