I noticed the truck seemed to lunge forward even though my foot was on the brake.as I was approaching a stop sign. Shortly after that, ford sent me a recall on the brakes.(not for that problem though). I contacted the ford dealer. They indicated no parts were available to fix the problem until at least the 4th quarter but to bring it in if the brake light came on in the panel. I am trying to trade the truck in or return it to ford because it is a lease and the ford dealer doesn't want it because they indicated there is no fix for the recall at this point. The dealership offered me $6000 dollars less than the value of the truck because it has a recall on it. I don't feel I should be penalized to receive a reduced amount for the truck because of the ford recall. I have filed a complaint with ford also. Any help or assistance that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.

Unintended acceleration event, 2014 ford f150, 5.0 l v-8. No damage or injuries. Occurred 10/27/15 at approx. 2 pm in spring hill florida, 80 degrees and raining. Experienced sudden full open throttle condition when braking the vehicle as I pulled into a parking stall at a bank. Brake restrained the vehicle from lunging forward for several seconds until I shifted into neutral. Acceleration was sufficient to spin the tires on the damp pavement. In neutral the throttle went to max RPM for 2 to 3 seconds, then slowed to idle. Cruise control was not in use and floor mat was not near the accelerator. Vehicle is scheduled to be checked at the ford dealership on fri 10/30. My passenger is a witness.
