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

If you believe there is a safety-related problem, you should report it via the NHTSA website.

With all due respect....at that point, you stop driving and call a tow truck to take it to the dealer.

IMO, you're lucky that pole was there.
