Consumer Description

MY SUV STALLS ANY TIME THE CAR SLOWS DOWN OR IT WILL ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN UP TO 60MPH SO THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. TONIGHT THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR INTERSECTION AND TOOK 5 MINUTES BEFORE IT WOULD RESTART. WHEN IT DID RESTART IT ACCELERATED SO RAPIDLY ANOTHER ACCIDENT ALMOST OCCURRED. I HAVE TAKEN THE SUV TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES OVER THREE YEARS AND THE SAY THAT IT IS DOING NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE FOUND WEBSITES THAT OTHER CONSUMERS ARE DRIVING IN THE SAME HAZARDOUS VEHICLES WITH NO RECOURSE FROM FORD. I AM RENTING A CAR NOW BECAUSE I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MINE. *TR
