Consumer Description

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHERE MY CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE DURING COLD WEATHER MONTHS. JANUARY 4, 2013 WAS WHEN I NEARLY GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT. ONE MORNING WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK, I PULLED OUT ONTO A MAIN ROAD AND MY CAR'S ACCELERATION DRASTICALLY SLOWED DOWN (TO ABOUT 5-10 MPH ON A 40MPH ROAD). THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST SLAMMED RIGHT INTO ME BECAUSE MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT ON (AND WHY WOULD THEY BE? I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS PETAL TRYING TO MAKE IT GO!) THE FACT THAT FORD DOESN'T ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM IS SCARY! I AM HONESTLY CONCERNED THAT ONE DAY THIS WILL CAUSE ME TO GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR
