Hey guys so today I have owned my 13 f150 5.0 supercab 4x4 3.55 for 6 days and today after work I had a weird thing happen while driving it home. I started the truck with my remote start and let it warm up for at least 10 mins or so as I normally do. But when after I started driving home I noticed it seemed like the truck was rocking back and forth and every time I stopped for a light or stop sign and I let off the brakes the truck would launch forward without me touching the gas pedal. Finally I reach my car pool buddy's bank and I shift the truck into park and suddenly the truck starts revving all the way up to 3000+ rpms even though I didn't touch the pedal. I even tried to pull the pedal back incase it was stuck but it wasn't stuck at all. I also noticed the truck was idling all over the place from 5-900 rpms which is not that uncommon. I turned off the truck and restarted it and everything was fine again. Anyone one ever have this happen? The truck only has 18xxx kms and the dealer said the only service done was two oil changes.

I had the same issue and it ended up being the throttle actuator in the throttle body. The whole throttle body assembly was replaced under warranty at 1500 miles.

Allow me to congratulate you on your new vehicle, Nelson306. I suggest contacting your dealer, as they're best to give insights. Please fill me in on your visit; I'll see what resources are available.

So far it has not happened again and if it does I will be definitely taking it to the dealership to get it checked out. I am being optimistic and hoping it was perhaps bad gas or something.
