Consumer Description

MY TAURUS 2002, THREE DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT IT USED, EXHIBITED BEHAVIOR JUST LIKE THAT DESCRIBED IN PE12005 FOR 2005-2006 MODEL YEARS. I HAD TO LIMP HOME, ALTERNATING BETWEEN NEUTRAL AND DRIVE, BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS STUCK AT APPROX 3500 RPM. TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND ON DID NOT CURE THIS. AFTER ABOUT 20 HARROWING MINUTES DURING RUSH HOUR DRIVING THROUGH A NOT-SO-GREAT SECTION OF DETROIT, THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. FORD TECHS COULD FIND NOTHING; THE PROBLEM HAS NOT RECURRED. HOWEVER, BASED ON PE12005, I WILL HAVE THE POSITION OF THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE CHECKED IN CASE THAT WAS (OR COULD AGAIN BE) THE CULPRIT. *JS
