Consumer Description

1. CAR WILL MAINTAIN SPEED/RPM AFTER YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. 2. CAR WILL ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN WHEN YOUR DRIVING AND YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. 3. CAR WILL ACCELERATE FROM A STOP WITHOUT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. 4. RPM WILL INCREASE WHEN AT A STOP, THE ONLY THING KEEPING YOU FROM MOVING IS KEEPING YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE OR SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL OR PARK. ISSUES STARTED SHORTLY AFTER BUYING THE CAR BRAND NEW AND HAS CONTINUED AFTER MULTIPLE VISITS TO FORD DEALERSHIP FOR SAME ISSUE. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SO EACH TIME WE ARE TOLD THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING' AS DESIGNED.'
