NHTSA Complaint #10504946 — 2004 FORD RANGER

I WAS DRIVING AT THE SPEED LIMIT 60 MPH REQUIREMENT ON I35 NORTH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE MY SPEED BEGIN TO ACCELERATE ON IT ON INCREASING UP TO 100 MPH. I WAS SCARE OUT OF MY SHOES NOT REALLY KNOWING WHAT WAS HAPPENING ARE KNOWING WHAT I SHOULD DO. I PRESSED ON MY BRAKES OVER, AND OVER AND IT STILL DIDN'T LOW DOWN. I WAS AFRAID FOR MY LIFE AND THE TRAFFIC AROUND ME. I FINALLY CAME UP ON AN ACCESS EXIT AND GOT OFF THE FREEWAY, BUT I ALMOST HIT SOMEONE BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC ON THE ACCESS ROAD WAS MERGING AND I WAS EXITING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I JUST STARTED BLOWING MY HORN REPEATEDLY. OTHER PEOPLE DRIVING AROUND ME HAD TO THINK I WAS LOSING MY MIND TO BE DRIVING THAT FAST AND EXITING OFF THE FREEWAY, BUT IT WAS OUT OF MY CONTROL. I TURNED MY TRUCK OFF, BUT IT STILL WAS MOVING FAST. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP SIGN I HAD TO ROLL RIGHT THOUGH IT BECAUSE THE TRUCK WOULD STOP. I PUMPED MY BREAKS AGAIN, AND AGAIN, IT SLOWED UP TO SOME DEGREE SO IT DID, I THEN HAD TO SHIFT IT INTO PARK TO GET IT TO STOP. IT ALMOST THROUGH ME OUT OF THE TRUCK BECAUSE OF ME HAVING TO SHIFT INTO PARK TO FORCE IT TO STOP. IT WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE AND I COULD HAVE GOTTEN KILLED ARE KILLED SOMEONE. IT HAS PLACED FEAR IN ME WHEN I'M DRIVING IT AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT HAS AFFECT MY POWER TRAIN/TRANSMISSION DUE TO THIS INCIDENT. I FEEL FORD MOTORS SHOULD BE RESPONSIBILITY FOR GIVING ME ANOTHER TRUCK ARE REPLACING MY TRANSMISSION. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME?
