Consumer Description

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION: I WAS IN HEAVY CITY TRAFFIC. WITHOUT WARNING, MY ENGINE STARTED TO RACE FULL SPEED. (IN A CROWN VICTORIA, THAT'S VERY FAST). THE ONLY WAY TO SLOW IT WAS TO PUSH THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD. FINALLY GOT IT PULLED OVER AND STOPPED. EVEN IN NEUTRAL, THE ENGINE RACED FULL SPEED. VERY FRIGHTENING!!! A MAN CAME FROM TIPTON FORD IN NACOGDOCHES, TX AND TOOK IT TO SHOP. THEY INSTALLED (1-2W7Z*9F715*BA VALVE ASY - THROTTLE AIR BY-PASS). CHARGED ME $278.00!! I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY MECHANICAL REPAIRS TO THIS CAR. I HAVE ALWAYS TRUSTED THIS CAR TO BE SAFE. NOW THAT SECURITY HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A LAWSUIT INVOLVING THIS PROBLEM. IF SO, I WANT MY MONEY BACK !!
