Consumer Description

ON HOT DAYS, WHEN BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACES, THE CAR HAS SOMETIMES "SURGED" MEANING THAT THERE HAS BEEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WITHOUT THE ACCELERATOR BEING PRESSED AT ALL. I HAVE HAD TO SUDDENLY AND FIRMLY PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM HITTING OTHER VEHICLES. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS IN AUGUST OF 2012. I OWN A 2006 FORD FIVE HUNDRED ALSO AND IT HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE SAME CONDITIONS (FILING SEPARATE COMPLAINT). *TR
