Powertrain malfunction

I have a 2023 Ford Lightning ER.
Today I was going to get lunch and a service soon light came on. I have 19000 miles and know I have to service at 20000. While I was going through the parking garage I noticed the truck was accelerating even with my foot off the accelerator. I tried to accelerate but it would not accelerate. I stopped and was backing up and the accelerator started to work. Then a sudden burst of power happened and I slammed the back corner of my truck into a concrete column. I am pissed see attached. I think Ford should pay for my damages

My truck has been in repair shop for 3 weeks to fix the body damage, before Ford dealer will try and find out the cause. I sent a message directly to Ford who monitors this site and have not heard anything from them as of yet.

I have had 2 acceleration events in a parking lot without my foot on the go pedal. Last time it seems like I hit the resume cruise control on the steering wheel? I know it's not supposed to reingage from under 22mph IIRC. But lucky for me hitting the brake canceled it before I hit anything. Any one else have this unintentional acceleration?

I was backing up after I was stopped when I hit the concrete post. I had the powertrain malfunction come on after my service soon light then it was accelerating on its own as I was going through the garage. I hit my brakes to go over a speed bump then it was accelerating on its own around 5 miles an hour. I gave it throttle and would not go (turtle mode ). I had decided I cant go get lunch so I pulled in a parking space but it was a valet spot and did not want to get scolded .I was backing out of spot and had to stop because of car coming around the corner then let off the brake and gave it juice and wouldn't move then a sudden burst of power and hit the pole. I'm like you has this happened to anyone else?
