Consumer Description

RETURNING FROM FLORIDA TO GEORGIA AND PASSED A VEHICLE AT ABOUT 70MPH AND RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR BUT VEHICLE KEPT ACCELERATING. I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT VEHICLE KEPT ACCELERATING. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN AND VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED ACCELERATING. ADDITIONALLY, "STOP SAFELY NOW" MESSAGE INTERMITTENTLY OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND AROUND TOWN IN TRAFFIC AND SLOWS THE VEHICLE TO PERHAPS 10-15MPH AND TELLS ME TO PULL OVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED RANDOMLY AT UNSPECIFIC TIMES AND IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHICH COULD BE DANGEROUS. I HAVE CONCERNS THAT THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FROM FORD SINCE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE ISSUE FROM FORUMS ONLINE AND IT COULD RESULT IN WRECKS AND MAYBE EVEN FATALITIES.
