Consumer Description

I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2005 FORD TAURUS AND IT WAS RUNNING FINE FOR LIKE 2 DAYS. THEN THE CRUISE STOPPED WORKING A FEW DAYS LATER THE ACCELERATOR BEGAN TO STICK. I WAS GOING ABOUT 30 AND SUDDENLY THE CAR BEGAN TO TAKE OFF ON ITS OWN AND I NEARLY HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD TO STEER OFF THE ROAD AND PRESSING THE BRAKES WAS VERY HARD. THIS SEEMS TO BE A TREND FOR THE CAR AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!! SOMEONE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DIE FOR THIS TO BE RECALLED!! *KB
