Consumer Description

WHILE BACKING UP THE CAR LUNGES WHEN FOOT IS STILL ON THE BRAKE. CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY LUNGE FORWARD WHEN PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT OR WHEN STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. VERY UNSAFE!!!!!! MUST MAKE SURE MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE HARD WHEN STOPPED OR BE READY TO QUICKLY BRAKE WHEN BACKING UP. THE AC IS SOMETIMES ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND THE TEMPERATURE IS IN THE UPPER 80'S. WE LIVE IN COLORADO SPRINGS, CO AND 80 DEGREE TEMP ARE PRETTY HOT HERE. LATELY IT HAS BEEN IN THE 90 DEGREE + RANGE AND THE ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE. MY WIFE MOSTLY DRIVES THIS CAR AND OUR TEENAGE DAUGHTER, NEW DRIVE WITH A PERMIT, IS LEARNING TO DRIVE, THIS IS NOT SAFE!!!. PLEASE PUT PRESSURE ON FORD TO FIX THIS SAFETY ITEM. SEEMS LIKE MAY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. WILL IT TAKE FOR SOMEONE TO BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED BEFORE THIS GETS LOOKED AT? HOW MANY ACCIDENTS MAJOR OR MINOR HAS THIS CAUSED? HOW MANY INSURANCE RATES HAVE INCREASED BECAUSE OF THESE ACCIDENTS? PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!!!!!! *TR
