Consumer Description

MY MERCURY SABLE 2004 BEGAN ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. THE FIRST TIME I WAS CRUISING AT 35MPH AND HAD TROUBLE STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN. BRAKING CAUSED A VIBRATION THE RPM'S WERE NOT GOING DOWN. DRIVING FURTHER I NOTED THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE BY ITSELF. TAPPING THE THE GAS PEDAL QUICKLY SOMETIMES CAUSED THE RPM'S TO GO BACK TO NORMAL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL GARAGE AND HAD THE THROTTLE (CABLES, ETC) CHECKED. ALL WERE REPORTED OK. THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED OFF AND ON BUT YESTERDAY (11/28/12) WAS THE WORST. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND MY ISSUE IS EXACTLY THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ISSUE REPORTED BY MANY OTHER TAURUS/SABLE OWNERS. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND AM NOW CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I CONTACTED FORD AND GOT A CASE NUMBER ASSIGNED. I AM WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM. *TR
