NHTSA Complaint #11111238 — 2013 FORD EXPLORER

I ENTER THE HIGHWAY FROM AN ON-RAMP AND I SLIGHTLY TAP THE BREAK TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC. I THEN FEEL THE VEHICLE RAPIDLY ACCELERATING. I SEE MY RPMS ARE HIGH. I NOTICEL THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FULLY ENGAGED TO THE FLOOR. I TAP IT SEVERAL TIMES TO DISENGAGE WITH NO SUCCESS. I HAD TO USE MY LEFT FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO TRY TO CONTROL MY SPEED AND USE MY RIGHT FOOT TO GET UNDER THE PEDAL TO LIFT IT. I SUCCESFULLY WEDGED MY FOOT UNDER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND IT RELEASED, RETURNING TO NORMAL POSITION.
