What owners wrote

I stopped at the mobil kanagroo express gas station in gainesville to fill my 2009 ford f150 up with gas. I used the handle lock on the gas nozzle to fill the tank. I also held it with my hand. When it was not yet full the nozzle flew out of the filler tube spraying gasoline all over me and the ground. I pulled the truck away from the gas pumps because I was worried about a fire.

I was pulling my boat, when coming to a stop, to park the truck, it suddenly accelerated. I had to turn off the key to stop it. I restarted the vehicle and drove around to block and come back to make another stop and it happened again. I again turned off the key. I let the truck set for about an hour and restarted it with no other incidents. I am very afraid it will happen again. Took it back to the ford dealer when I got home and they say they cannot find any problem.
