What owners wrote
Ford f-150 lost control and accelerated coming out of car wash tunnel. Car did not respond to brakes and accelerated into a building injuring driver and pedestrian.
I was on a highway in rain on cruise control approaching an off ramp. My speed was 72 MPH as set by cruise control. I applied the brakes to disengage and slow for the off-ramp which is sharp. As I approached I started to apply more brake pressure. The vehicle began accelerating as I was going into the turn. I stomped on the brakes and the brakes went to the floor repeatedly while still accelerating. I navigated the turn at high speed with the back end breaking loose and fish tailing.
