NHTSA Complaint #10859862 — 2006 FORD MUSTANG

SUDDEN ACCELERATION. HAPPENED 3-4 TIMES BEFORE. CRUISE CONTROL ON HIGHWAY. I ROLLED INTO IT (THAT IS NOT FLOORING IT) AND IT WOULD NOT STOP ACCELERATING. USED BRAKES TO CONTROL CAR, TURNED OFF IGNITION, AND STOPPED ON SHOULDER. I HAD TO WAIT WHAT SEEMED LIKE 2-3 MINUTES BEFORE IT WOULD RESTART WITHOUT RACING. TONIGHT WAS DIFFERENT. I HAD BRAKED OFF CRUISE CONTROL AS I EXITED 94E TO 65N. AS I BEGAN TO PLAN MY MERGE ONTO 65 A GUY ALONE IN THE RIGHT LANE WOULD NOT MOVE OVER, I ROLLED INTO AND THE ACCELERATION HAPPENED AGAIN. THERE WAS NO SHOULDER AT FIRST AND THE BRAKES WERE ALMOST OVERWHELMED. I TURNED OFF IGNITION AND COASTED FORWARD UNTIL I GOT A SHOULDER. ON MY SECOND RESTART IT REVED TO 3,000 RPM THEN VERY SLOWLY GOT TO A NORMAL IDLE. I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN.
