Consumer Description

WE WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE @ FASTER SPEED TILL ABOUT 75 MPH .. WE WAS GOING 40 MPH ON OUR OWN TO START .. WE HAD TO BRAKE THE CAR BUT IT SEEMED THE MORE WE BRAKE THE MORE IT WOULD GO .. BUT WE DID IT @ FORCE TILL IT STOPPED , AND SQUEALING BRAKES AND PUT IT IN PARK AND THE CAR SOUND AS IF I WAS PUSHING PEDAL TO FLOOR AND I TURNED IT OFF AS IS .. SO I OPENED HOOD WENT TO THROTTLE AND MOVED THE CAGE ON IT THEN I HEARD A CLICK AND STARTED IT UP AND IT WAS FINE ..NOW 5/20/13 IT DOES IT ATLEAST 1 A DAY AND MY COUSIN WHO IS MECHANIC SAID PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND GIVE THE GAS A LITTLE PUSH TO GET IT TO RELEASE .. AND CALL FORD TO SEE IF THERE'S A RECALL .. I CALLED AND THEY SAID THERE ISN'T A RECALL TO HAVE IT SERVICE ASAP BECAUSE IT DANGEROUS .. BUT MY THOUGHT IS IF THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH SAME ISSUE WHY WOULDN'T IT BE ON RECALL DUE TO SEVERITY (FORDFORUM.COM). *TR
