Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, I WAS UNABLE TO STOP MY CAR FROM ACCELERATING AS THE GAS PEDAL STOP WORKING. TO KEEP FROM HITTING ANYONE, I HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE MEDIAN, BRAKE AS HARD AS COULD, THROW MY CAR INTO PARK AND TURN IT OFF. IF I TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON, YOU COULD STILL HEAR THE ENGINE REVVING FROM THE ACCELERATOR STILL BEING STUCK IN ACCELERATOR MODE. FORD IS NOT WILLING TO COVER COST OF REPAIR - ONLY OFFERING A 12,000 MILE OR 12-MOS SERVICE PARTS WARRANTY. *TT
