NHTSA Complaint #10956877 — 2005 FORD TAURUS

MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR SUNDAY FEBRUARY 19 2017 AND IT STARTED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN AT VERY HIGH RPM. HE HAD A HARD TIME TRYING TO STOP THE CAR. WE TOOK THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY BELIEVED THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM AND SAID WE WERE ALL SET. MY SON PICKED UP THE CAR AND THE NEXT DAY HIM AND MYSELF WERE IN THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY AND IT ACCELERATED AGAIN ON ITS OWN. THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO SLOW DOWN BY TAPPING THE GAS PEDAL TO MAKE THE ACCELERATION (HIGH RMP) STOP HAPPENING. BUT AS I DROVE IT WOULD DO IT AGAIN. I WAS AFRAID THAT WHEN WE GOT OFF THE EXIT I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET IT TO STOP. IT WENT BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY REPLACED ANOTHER PART AND AGAIN TODAY IT HAPPENED TO MY SON, HIGH ACCELERATION ON ITS OWN. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND CAN NOT BE FIGURED OUT. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINS ON LINE ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. PEOPLE WOULD AT LEAST LIKE KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. IT S NOT SAFE AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO END UP HURT. I ALSO HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED SEPTEMBER 2016 FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THERE NEEDS TO BE RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT. I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW TO FIX IT IF NO RECALL. I LOVE MY SON AND DO NOT WANT HIM HURT IN THIS CAR. I WANT A CALL FROM SOMEONE REGARDING THIS. THE CARE ONLY HAS 64500 MILES AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED.
