Consumer Description

WHILE IN PARKING LOT, CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL. HELD THE BRAKES TO KEEP CAR FROM MOVING AND PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, THE RPMS WHEN UP TO 7000, GAS PEDAL WAS NOT BEING TOUCHED. AFTER I GOT THE CAR STOPPED AND WHILE IN NEUTRAL, I QUICKLY PUMPED THE GAS PEDAL ONCE AND THE ENGINE CAME BACK DOWN TO IDLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AS WELL. I AM SURPRISED BY THE MANY REPORTS OF THIS ON THE FORD TAURUS THAT IT ISN'T A RECALL. THIS IS THE SAME TYPE OF ISSUE TOYOTA HAD. SUDDEN ACCELERATION. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THIS GETS RECALLED?
