Electrical System,Fuel/Propulsion System,Forward Collision AvoidanceCrash

I had put the vehicle into one pedal drive mode for the first time on the morning of aug 29th. vehicle operated as it should for first few places i drove to and stopped, but then i approached a red light, removed foot slowly from accelerator and vehicle came to a full stop as it should. approximately 2-5 seconds later, without warning or even the collision avoidance system activating, my vehicle suddenly accelerated

Structure

Spot welds have failed on the drivers side door. this is a known issue with multiple ford vehicles, though they have not issued a recall for this specific model.

Electrical System

I just had the high voltage battery junction box replaced after being in shop 16 days. upon arrival to my house yesterday my car would not charge. upon further investigation once the hvbj connector is replaced a charge of the car to put a full load on this connector is not performed. instead ford goes the easy route and uses a test drive and other diagnostic test such as there computer to see if the connector is bad.
