Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2003 FORD TAURUS SINCE NEW. AT ABOUT 70,000 MILES IT STARTED HAVING ACCELERATION WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GAS. NO CODES SHOWED UP. EVERY MECHANIC HAS A DIFFERENT OPINION. BASICALLY TRIAL AND ERROR, NONE OF WHICH WORKS. I HAVE HAD THE CRUISE CHECKED, CHANGED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR AND THE IDLE AIR VALVE. IT STILL DOES THIS AT 111,000. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY WIFE'S SAFETY SINCE IT IS HER CAR. I READ THAT FORD HAS NOT RECOGNIZED THIS AS A PROBLEM, BUT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR ONLINE COMPLAINTS. *TR
