February 28, 2019 started to pass another vehicle on the highway and my 2018 f150 stx just kept on accelerating on its own, I applied brakes and it would slow down but as soon as I stopped braking it started to accelerate again, it did this several times during braking, I finally had to turn the ignition off and pull over. I restarted the vehicle and the accelerator raced up again, I shut it off again and let it sit for a few minutes to reset to default.
