Consumer Description

ON 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS FEB 9,15,19,26 1999 THE FORD EXPLORER ACCELERATOR ENGAGED ITSELF, 3 TIMES WHILE COMMUTING ON ROAD APPROX. 30 MILES PER HOUR. EACH TIME THE RPM WAS OVER 4. QUICK ACTION BY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH HALTED THE ACCELERATION, WHICH WAS A POTENTIAL FOR DISASTER. THE 4TH TIME HAPPEN WHEN FROM A PARKING STARTUP, (WITHOUT TOUCHING THE ACCELARATOR) THE GAS PEDAL ENGAGED ITSELF, LUCKLY WHILE SITTING IN FRONT OF A MAJOR SHOPPING MALL GLASS PLATE WINDOW THE THE WASN'T IN MOTION. SO WITH THE DEPRESSING OF THE BRAKE PEDAL IT DISENGAGED THE ACCELARATOR. I'VE CONTACTED THE FORD CAR DEALER WITHIN MY AREA FOR SERVICE CHECK AND ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. A DIAGNOSTIC WAS DONE WITH NO INDICATIONS OF NOTED PROBLEMS. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT IT COULD BE THE CRUISE CONTROL CERVIAL, WHICH COULD BE REPLACED FOR $275.00. PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP FOR FURTHER GUIDANCE.
