NHTSA Complaint #10409449 — 2007 FORD CROWN VICTORIA

THIS IS ANOTHER OF AN ON GOING ACCELERATION ISSUE WHEN DEPRESSING THE FOOT BRAKE. IN THIS INSTANCE I HAD JUST BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPACE IN A SHOPPING CENTER AND DROVE MAYBE 200' AND HAD JUST ABOUT ROLLED TO A STOP SIGN FOR GA HIGHWAY 212 AND VERY SLIGHTLY DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AS SOON AS I STARTED PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ENGINE PICKED UP RPM AND I IMMEDIATELY MOVED FOOT FROM BRAKE PEDAL. END OF ACCELERATION. BY THIS TIME VEHICLE HAD ALREADY ROLLED TO A COMPLETE STOP. I DID NOT, AS FORD SEEMS TO THINK, HAVE MY FOOT ON BOTH THE GAS AND BRAKE. THE VERY LIGHT PRESSURE I HAD APPLIED WOULD HAVE MY FOOT THREE TO FOUR INCHES AWAY FROM THE TOP OF THE GAS PEDAL. YES, I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I HAD TO REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE GAS TO GET TO THE BRAKE. THIS IS A VEHICLE MALFUNCTION. NOT OPERATOR ERROR. I AM UNABLE TO DETERMINE A FAILED COMPONENT.....FUEL? BRAKE? ELECTRICAL? I DON'T HAVE A CLUE.
