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.

Purchased vehicle in nov 2018, less than one year than the date of this claim. On nine different occasions my vehicle experienced one or more of the following: loss of all electrical power, steering, acceleration control, fuel pump/injectors, timing of the RPM, and other related issues leaving me stranded in the middle of nowhere, immediately and instantaneously stalled out on highways and major freeways without warning, some of which nearly LED to vehicular accidents from sudden loss of all electronic equipment and power of the truck, with hundreds of individuals having experienced the same or similar issues with this year and model f-150. In the midst of all of this, I've spent over $3,500+ in repairs between the date of purchase to date of this claim to the ECM, fuel pump module, fuel injector harness, battery, ignition switch, mass flow air sensor, camshaft position sensors, serpentine belt, and normal maintenance, and have been informed that I now need a new engine, another $5,000 on top of the present $6,784 lien currently on the vehicle. The physical safety of myself and others has not only been placed in jeopardy, but this issue and vehicle has placed me in a serious, delinquent, and seemingly impossible financial position. I can't even get the car to run now, it will not drive after the engine suddenly stalled out 15 days ago as I lost all ability to accelerate on freeway; engine was overheating and had no oil pressure. Timing chains, rod, main bearing and camshafts all need repair with no guarantee that I won't be placed in the same or similar position again if I were to correct, possible bankruptcy if left uncorrected. Ford wants $400 more for inspection, makes no guarantee all issues will he identified and refuses to make repairs or take responsibility for their faulty 5.4l v8 triton engine & electrical system that are 'built ford tough.' please help.
