Consumer Description

I STARTED MY CAR AND PUT IT IN DRIVE AND BEGAN TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ENGINE RACED TO 6000 RPMS. PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR KEPT ACCELERATING. I PULLED MY PARKING BRAKE AND GOT THE SAME RESULT. I THEN PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND AT THAT TIME I WAS DOING ABOUT 60 IN A NEIGHBORHOOD HEADING STRAIGHT FOR A LIGHT POLE. I JUST BARELY MISSED THE POLE BUT STILL HIT THE CURB AND TOTALED MY CAR. AFTER TURNING THE KEY THE ENGINE STOPPED. A MECHANIC AT THE COLLISION CENTER LOOKED AT MY ENGINE AND SAW THAT MY THROTTLE WAS STUCK WIDE OPEN. THE CAR IS STILL SITTING AT THE COLLISION CENTER WAITING FOR A FORD REPRESENTATIVE TO COME AND LOOK AT IT. *TR
