Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 05 TAURUS TODAY AND I NOTICED THAT I DID NOT HAVE TO PUSH THE PEDAL TO KEEP GOING. I LET OFF THE GAS AND THE CAR KEPT ACCELERATING AND I HAD TO BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE WHINNED OUT AT 4000 RPM'S. I HAD TO HIT THE GAS PEDAL TWO OR THREE TIMES FOR IT TO SETTLE DOWN. IT WOULD GO OKAY FOR A WHILE AND THEN START UP AGAIN. I WONDERED WHY MY BRAKES WERE WEARING DOWN SO FAST. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND SHE NORMALLY DRIVES IT ALL THE TIME. SHE DID NOT TELL ME IT WAS ACTING UP BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT SHE BROKE IT! THANK GOD SHE DID NOT HAVE A WRECK. I HAVE DEEMED THE CAR NOW UNDRIVEABLE TILL IT GOES IN THE SHOP. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND FORD SHOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. *TR
