Consumer Description

MY WIFE, SON AND I WERE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE HAD RANDOM ACCELERATION WHILE AT FULL STOPPED. ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER AFTER A FULL STOP THE VEHICLE HAD ANOTHER ACCELERATION WHILE FOOT ON BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT. ONCE STALLED OUT THE COMPUTER DISPLAYED THE FOLLOWING ERROR "FAIL SAFE ENGINE". AFTER DOING AN ONLINE REVIEW I NOTICED THAT MANY OTHER FORD FIVE HUNDRED OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND SEEMS TO BE CAUSED BY "THROTTLE BODY". PLEASE NOTE THAT WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS ON PARK AND PUT INTO REVERSE, THE HIGHER ACCELERATION TAKES PLACE. I ALWAYS HAVE TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL. I HAVE TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL WHILE DRIVING AS I AM AFRAID FOR ACCELERATION AND STALLING OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. *TR
