Consumer Description

ON WED. AUG, 1, 2012, I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ON MY 2008 FORD TAURUS SPED UP BY ITSELF. I THOUGHT THE CRUISE BUTTON CAME ON BY ITSELF OR THAT THE FLOOR MAT WAS STUCK ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAR CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO GOING REAL FAST, (BUT IT WASN'T) I HIT THE BRAKE, MOVED TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND PUT THE CAR IN LOW THEN NEUTRAL THEN TURNED THE CAR OFF. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TWO DAYS LATER, ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 3, 2012 AND I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY AGAIN. SCARED ME TO DEATH, AND IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, I AM TAKING IT IN TO A FORD DEALER FOR REPAIR. *TR
