Consumer Description

SAFETY RECALL 97V-074000. EVERYTHING MY VEHICLE DID IS DESCRIBED IN THIS RECALL. THE THROTTLE STUCK AT 65 MPH ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS SO FAR. BOTH TIMES OCCURRED ON DAYS WITH TEMPS AT -13 TO -15 DEGREES. THE VEHICLE SPEEDS UP TO THE "STUCK" SPEED WITH NO GAS PEDAL USE, AND WON'T STOP WITHOUT STANDING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. UPON SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL OR PARK, THE RPM REVS UP TO ABOUT 5000. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE AGREE THAT IS SOUNDS LIKE THE PROBLEM LISTED IN THE RECALL. HOWEVER, SINCE I LIVE IN COLORADO, THEY WILL NOT FIX IT UNDER THE RECALL. I LIVE LESS THAN 30 MILES FROM WYOMING, WHICH IS INCLUDED, AND FURTHER NORTH THAN PARTS OF NEBRASKA - ALSO INCLUDED. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM WHEN I CAN'T STOP, YET THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS ON JANUARY 2, 2008 - SAME SITUATION. *TR
