Consumer Description

I DRIVE A 1999' FORD TAURUS. UPON ENTERING THE FREEWAY I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. CAR DOES NOT HAVE CRUISE CONTROL. I THOUGHT THAT THE ACCELERATOR CABLE WAS STICKING. I HAD THE CAR CHECKED OUT FOR THE STICKY CABLE BUT FOUND OUT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CABLE. BETWEEN THEN AND NOW I HAVE GOTTEN THE PROBLEM FIXED FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP TWICE (PAID COUPLE OF HUNDRED DOLLARS EACH TIME) ,AND THE CAR WAS ACTING UP AGAIN(FOR THE THIRD TIME). THEN A FRIEND OF MINE REMINED ME OF THIS SHOW HE HAD SEEN WHERE PEOPLE HAD REPORTED THEIR TAURUS'S ACCELERATING SUDDENL,Y BUT FORD MOTOR CO. PASSED THE BUCK ON THE DRIVERS (THEY ACCIDENTLY MAY HAVE STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL). THIS WAS A REAL PROBLEM WITH THE TAURUS AND I HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT EACH TIME I GET AN UNSATISFACTORY ANSWER FROM THEM. *AK
