Consumer Description

HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL NOW! PARKED CAR AT MY OFFICE AND 2 HOURS LATER WANTING TO LEAVE AND DID NOT MAKE IT OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT GET POWER; BUT ALL OTHER COMPONENTS APPEARED WORKING FINE. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RE-STARTED; WITHIN SECONDS SAME THING HAPPEN. I WAS READY TO GO ON A 3 HOUR TRIP IN MORNING ON A BUSY INTERSTATE AND NOW I AM AFRAID TO GO SINCE I DO NOT WANT TO GET RUN OVER (HAVE TO GO THROUGH MUCH INTERSTATE CONSTRUCTION. THIS POWERTRAIN FAILURE IS NOT SAFE AND CREATES HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS ON THE ROAD FOR EVERYONE. EVEN WITH 50 MILES PER HOUR IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE; IT IS VERY DANGEROUS LOOSING THE POWERTRAIN IN A ONE LAND-BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC WITH HEAVY TRUCKS BEHIND YOU. PICTURE YOURSELF IN THIS SITUATION. I AM CERTAINLY AFRAID TO GO ON MY BUSINESS TRIP IN THE MORNING. LIKE GUESS PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FIRST BEFORE FORD IS TAKING SOME RECALL ACTION! MY CAR IS REGULAR MAINTAINED; THIS WAS NOT EXPECTED AT ALL! I WILL NOT BUY A FORD AGAIN! *TR
