NHTSA Complaint #10808424 — 2008 FORD TAURUS

I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, STOPPED AND ON THE BRAKES WAITING FOR AN OPENING IN TRAFFIC WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY CAR TRIED TO SURGE ME FORWARD, REVVING UP VERY HIGH. IT SOUNDED AS IF THE CAR MAY BLOW UP. I HAD TO STOMP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET AND FIGHT TO KEEP FROM THE CAR THROWING ME OUT INTO TRAFFIC. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND IT STOPPED. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE NEAREST SERVICE STATION, WHERE THEY LOOKED AT IT & TOOK IT FOR A DRIVE. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE THEY LOOKED AT IT SO THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHAT WENT WRONG WITH IT. MY HUSBAND CALLED FORD AND THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THAT AND WE WERE THE FIRST ONES THAT HAD THAT GO WRONG WITH THEIR FORD TAURUS. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED, I SAW NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE EXACT THING HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR NOW, AND WILL NO LONGER TEACH MY SON TO DRIVE WITH IT. THERE'S NO WAY I'D PUT MY SON BEHIND THE WHEEL OF IT KNOWING IT MIGHT THROW HIM INTO TRAFFIC AND HARM HIM IN ANY WAY. IS FORD WAITING FOR A DEATH BEFORE THEY ADMIT TO ANYTHING?! I NEED HELP FROM ANYONE TO GUIDE ME IN HOW TO FIND OUT WHAT WENT WRONG AND HOW TO GET IT FIXED. I HAVE A COUPLE DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS COMING UP IN ST LOUIS AND I CAN'T GET THE FEAR OF IT HAPPENING ON AN 8 LANE HIGHWAY OUT OF MY HEAD. HELP!
