NHTSA Complaint #10598531 — 2005 FORD TAURUS

I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE DOWN CURVY, MOUNTAIN ROAD WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO CROSS A RAILROAD TRACK. THEN WHEN I CAME OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND JUST WANTED TO KEEP SPEEDING UP. I HAD TO DOWN SHIFT AND RIDE THE BRAKE TO TRY TO GET IT TO SLOW DOWN. I WAS DOING 40 IN A 35 ZONE AND IT JUST KEEP WANTING TO GO,GO,GO. I PUT MT LEFT FOOT ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND WAS BARLEY ABLE TO KEEP FROM GOING THROUGH A STOP SIGN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AS I PULLED OUT I TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR AND FROM THAT POINT ON IT SEEMED TO GO BACK TO NORMAL (THANKFULLY BECAUSE I WAS THEN APPROACHING A 15 MPH SCHOOL ZONE.) FORD AND THE GOVERNMENT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2007! WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE WAITING ON? ARE YOU GOING TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEBODY DIES FROM THIS DEFECT BEFORE YOU DEEM IT WORTHY OF A RECALL? YOU NEED TO FIX THIS NOW!!! WHICH ONE IS MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU, PROFIT, GREED, QUARTERLY STATEMENTS, OR A HUMAN LIFE???? *TR
