Consumer Description

MY WIFE AND I WERE OUT DRIVING OUR 2005 FORD TAURUS WHEN THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN. I WAS TRYING TO BRAKE AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO INCREASE IN SPEED. I WASN'T USING THE CRUISE CONTROL AT THE TIME, I SELDOM DO, BUT THE CRUISE CONTROL DOE'S WORK THOUGH. I FINALLY HAD TO BREAK HARD AND PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL TO GET IT STOPPED AND THE ENGINE RPM'S WERE GOING REALLY HIGH, BETWEEN 4000-5000 RPM'S. THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE AND IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS! MY WIFE IS AFRAID OF THE VEHICLE AND DON'T EVEN WANT TO DRIVE IT! THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR MOST OF FORD TAURUS OWNERS ON THIS WEB SITE IN THIS YEAR RANGE OF FORD TAURUS VEHICLES. A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED SO THAT FORD CAN CORRECT THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. PLEASE DON'T WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE IS KILLED BEFORE YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THANKS IN ADVANCE! *TR
