Consumer Description

STOPPED AT LIGHT, CAR STARTED TO REV RPM'S. COULD NOT HOLD ON BRAKES ENOUGH TO STOP MOVING. WENT THROUGH RED LIGHT AROUND TWO CARS AS SPEED REACHED ABOUT 70MPH. BOTH FEET ON BRAKES, COULD SMELL THEM BURNING, GOT TO SIDE OF ROAD AND SLAMMED INTO PARK AND TURNED CAR OFF. WOW, THE SCARIEST THING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. IF THERE WAS HEAVY TRAFFIC SOMEONE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED, NO DOUBT IN MY MIND .HAPPENED ON THRUWAY TWO WEEKS EARLIER, ONLY LASTED A MINUTE, THOUGHT THE MAT WAS STUCK, IT WAS NOT. CALLED FORD AND THEY COULD NOT HELP AS THERE IS NO RECALL. TOOK IT TO FORD DEALER, THEY DISCONNECT CRUSIE CABLE. DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS REALLY THE PROBLEM, JUST GOT IT BACK. I AM VERY FEARFUL TO DRIVE IT, BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL DO IT AGAIN. PLEASE SOMEONE MAKE FORD WAKE UP ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I WOULDN'T FEEL RIGHT TRADING IT IN, FOR FEAR OF SOMEONE ELSE GETTING KILLED. *KB
