After having recalls worked on, my truck became completely inoperable. The first failure warning was a message that said "Gear will engage at low speed." I lost the ability to control acceleration. I then got messages for "Powertrain malfunction" "Pre-collision assist not available" "Hill start assist not available" "Service AdvanceTrak" "Service vehicle soon" "Check Engine." Came to a stop. Truck then began accelerating on its own. Being unable to control the acceleration of my vehicle was scary and dangerous. The auto-acceleration was very unsettling, causing me to jerk back and forth by applying the brake to limp home. If this had happened on the highway, it would have been very bad news. This issue occurred twice. The first time the dealer released it and said it was fixed. The second time they released it without doing anything. The vehicle has been inspected by Ford Mechanics exclusively. No prior warnings occurred. The problem appeared seemingly out of nowhere. The truck drove perfectly for 49,000 miles. The day after the recalls were performed, it was inoperable. A week after getting it back, the failure happened again, this time stranding me in another city.

Accelerated to merge onto highway. Vehicle alerted to pull over safely when possible. Internal combustion engine shut off and vehicle "limped" in electric only mode until I could find a spot to park. This all happened while traveling at 70MPH on a busy freeway. Once I shut the vehicle off, I was able to start it again and travel to my nearest dealer. Dealer was unable to diagnose the issue but advised it was safe to drive home to our local dealer. Truck is currently at local dealer being diagnosed. One CEL of note was P0811 (clutch slippage). This truck is nearly brand new with fewer than 12,000 miles on the odometer. I have had similar Check Engine Lights with similar results of not being able to diagnose. However, this incident of power loss at highway speeds with my wife and 3 children in the vehicle was unacceptable.
