Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 FORD TAURUS HOME WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK. I TAPPED THE GAS PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES AND THIS HELPED FOR A SECOND THEN IT BEGAN ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN AGAIN. IT PICKED UP SPEED AND I HAD TO RIDE THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY TO MY HOUSE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I HAVE SEEN THAT OTHER 2005 FORD TAURUS OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED THE FORD COMPANY AND THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME. IF YOU OWN A 2005 FORD TAURUS BE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. ANOTHER COMPLAINT: MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY CAR WHEN IT STOPPED DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, ON APRIL 28, 2016 I HAD TO PUT OUT $1100.00 TO FIX THE TORQUE CONVERTER ON MY 2005 FORD TAURUS. THIS AMOUNT SET MY BUDGET OVER THE TOP. I HAD TO BORROW THE MONEY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. CALLED THE FORD COMPANY AGAIN, NO RECALL AGAIN. NO RESOLUTION.
