Once, while shifting from park to reverse and also once while shifting from park to drive the engine has gone to (nearly?) full throttle. Both times I was able to avoid and accident by standing on the brake and shifting back to neutral (throttle returned to idle).

2006 ford f-140 trition 5.4 liter flex fuel v-8 engine and 4 speed automatic transmission hesitates when accelerating from stop signs or lights and when merging with highway / interstate traffic.
Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle's engine bogged down prior to the engagement of the passing gear while driving various speeds on a 2 lane highway. The contact depressed the accelerator to the floorboard while attempting to pass a vehicle, but there was a loss of power, along with a 2 second delay prior to the passing gear activation. The problem occurred only during acceleration and in overdrive. When out of overdrive, the passing gear activated instantly in 3rd gear. The contact had a friend with the same vehicle which was taken to the dealer twice and determined that it was the natural characteristics of the engine. The service manager had the same vehicle with the same problems. The manufacturer was contacted and a complaint was taken on 08/04/06. The vehicle had an automatic transmission. Updated 9/13/2006 -

I got the truck january 06, 2006 from the dealership. I signed the paperwork and went home with the truck. The salesperson had told me that I was buying the truck. When they send me my first payment I realize that I was not buying the truck in reality I was leasing the truck. The salesperson completely just lied to me. As soon as I found out how I was lied to by the dealership I return the truck as soon as possible. Now how do they expect me to pay for the truck if I don't even have it.
2006 f150 fx 4 -4x4 super cab 5.4 l. I traded the exact same truck in an 04 model year for this 2006. Ford has refused to fix ( for 3 model years ) : drive train vibration, drive train howl/whine. The 04 was in the shop 6 times with no fix. My 06 in the dealership now. I haven't made the first payment or the first oil change. Problems not present on test drive. Started at 500 miles. Other problems include : brake pedal is mush. It never firms up. It will go to the floor. Doors wont shut without slamming. Super cab doors wont shut tight without pushing top in. My best fuel economy is 13 mpg highway with the cruise on. The "new" f150's are a disgrace to the ford name. $ 38,000 p.o.s. !! My last ford.
