NHTSA Complaint #10499985 — 2005 FORD ESCAPE

I HAVE A RANDOM INCIDENT WITH MY FORD ESCAPE 2005, WHERE AT TIMES WHEN ON CRUISE CONTROL, THE ENGINE WILL ACCELERATE UNEXPECTEDLY. AFTER MANY YEARS OF DRIVING, AND ATTEMPTING TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH FORD BUT REFUSED AS IT WASN'T REPRODUCIBLE WHEN ALLOTTED, I THINK THIS ISSUE OCCURS BECAUSE THE CRUISE CONTROL HAS SELF ADJUSTED ITSELF WHEN TOWING A TRAILER. BUT AFTER DETACHING THE TRAILER AND TAKING THE TRUCK FOR A LONG HILLY RIDE, THE ENGINE COMPUTER MAY THINK IT'S STILL TOWING A TRAILER AND STRONGLY ACCELERATE THE ENGINE WHEN GOING UPHILL WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. THIS IS ONLY BASED ON WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCE, AND INCLUDE NO COMPUTER LOG EXAMINATION. NOT THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN IF A POLICE CAR IS AROUND, AND BEING A SAFE DRIVER. I'M NOT TOO CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AS I SELF MANAGE THE ISSUE. (TEND TO SELF MANAGE A LOT OF THINGS THESE DAYS.) THIS VEHICLE HAS SERVED ME QUITE WELL, EXCEPT FOR A LOUD KNOCK ON THE FRONT DRIVE AXLE ON THIS AWD - LIKELY A BAD BEARING THAT THEY DIDN'T FIX WHEN THEY FIXED IT INITIALLY. SHRUGS. *TR
