Consumer Description

SUBJECT VEHICLE IS A 1999 FORD TAURUS, MANUFACTURED IN SEPTEMBER, 1998. THE MILEAGE TRAVELED IS 111,000. I WAS PROCEEDING AT 20 TO 25 MPH BEHIND A LOGGING TRUCK. WE APPROACHED A STOP SIGN. I BRAKED. THE CAR CONTINUED TO PROCEED SLOWLY FORWARD, BUT THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ENGAGED AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL SLOWLY FORWARD. I HEARD A ROAR, AND THOUGHT THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WERE MOVING THE CAR FORWARD, SO SLIPPED THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. THE RPM RACED TO 4000 TO 4500. I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, THEN RE-STARTED. THE REMAINDER OF THE 15 MILE COMMUTE WAS UNEVENTFUL. THIS IS THE ROUTE I HAVE TRAVELED TO WORK FOR 14 YEARS. IT IS RURAL. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. I CHECKED RECALL 98V204000. THE RETAINER CLIP IS IN PLACE. THE THROTTLE FEELS NORMAL. I AM A LICENSED MECHANICAL ENGINEER. *TR THE CONSUMER STATED THE ACCELERATOR CABLE AND LINKAGE ARE OKAY AT BOTH ENDS. UPDATED 09/12/07 *TR
