Consumer Description

I WAS GOING TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE AND THE ACCELERATOR STUCK. I THEN CRASHED INTO A LIGHT POLE AND A BUILDING. I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR SOME PART OF THE THROTTLE ON THOSE MODELS FROM 2001 TOO 2004. NEVER HAD ANY NOTICE OF A FACTORY RECALL FORM WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AT CARHOP, OR FROM FORD DEALERSHIP , OR FROM THE DMV ON THIS MATTER. VERY LUCKY NO ONE WAS INJURED IN THIS INCIDENT INCLUDING MYSELF. THERE IS ALREADY CLAIM THROUGH MY INSURANCE AGENCY STATEFARM ON THIS MATTER. ALL MY YRS. OF DRIVING NOTHING LIKE THIS HAD EVER HAPPENED. *TR
