NHTSA Complaint #10292863 — 2006 FORD MUSTANG

WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP, MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL, THE ENGINE REVS UP TO 3500 RPM AND RISES FROM THERE. IN ORDER TO STOP IT, I HAVE TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY UNIT. TWO WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. FORD SAID THERE IS NO CODES IN THE SYSTEM AND THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE SITUATION TO VERIFY. THEY ALSO SAID THAT I MIGHT BE TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL AND BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME. THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD A PASSENGER VERIFY THAT MY FEET AND THE FLOOR MAT WAS COMPLETELY AWAY FROM THE GAS PEDAL AS THE ENGINE REVVED OVER 3500 RPM. THE CAR OPERATED NORMALLY FOR THE LAST 4 MONTHS UNTIL THIS PAST WEEK WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IT'S OCCURRED AROUND 20 TIMES WITH 3 OF THEM DURING DRIVING WHERE THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN. FORD HAS SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL A CODE SHOWS UP OR A PART ACTUALLY BREAKS. HOPEFULLY, I WON'T HAVE AN ACCIDENT BY THAT TIME. *TR
