Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT YET BUT I HAVE TOLD THE FORD CO. THAT IT IS DANGEROUS AND THEY IGNORE ME. WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND START TO PULL OUT THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL INTO MOVING TRAFFIC AND HESITATE 4-5 SECONDS BEFORE THE GAS FINALLY CATCHES AND THE VEHICLE GOES ON. MEAN WHILE YOU HAVE TRAFFIC BEARING DOWN ON YOU. WE HAVE COME CLOSE TO GETTING HIT SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AS A POTENTIAL PROBLEM FOR OTHER CONSUMERS BESIDES MYSELF.
