Consumer Description

VEHICLE (08 LINCOLN MKX) WAS CRUISING AT 35MPH GOING DOWN SLIGHT INCLINE WHEN SUDDENLY VEHICLE STARTED ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN AT ~3,500RPM. AS THE VEHICLE WAS GOING DOWN HILL AT 35MPH IN A 30MPH ZONE WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES IN SIGHT, NEITHER GAS NOR BRAKES WERE APPLIED AS THERE WAS NO NEED. FOOT WAS OFF BOTH PEDALS UNTIL I REALIZED THAT THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN AT AN UNCONTROLLABLE RATE AND IT WAS THEN THAT I APPLIED THE BRAKES. CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AS THE BRAKES WERE BEING APPLIED. ACCELERATION LASTED APPROXIMATELY TEN SECONDS AND THEN VEHICLE REVERTED BACK TO NORMAL. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE THE FOLLOWING DAY (13MAY2014) AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO SERVICE BULLETINS OR KNOWN SAFETY ISSUES WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. *TR
