TRUCK VEHICLE WAS SHIFTING INTO REVERSE AND A BRAKE FAILURE PROMPT THE DRIVER TO SWITCH INTO DRIVE AND SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE SPUN OFF OUT OF CONTROL(BURNING TIRE) AND IT TOOK OFF VERY FAST WITHOUT EVEN TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL. DRIVER TRIED TO STOP IT BUT NOTHING WORKED. *KB
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 FORD RANGER. WHILE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, THE ENGINE WOULD IDLE VIOLENTLY AND ACT AS IF IT WOULD CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE.

THIS SITUATION HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST A HALF A DOZEN TIMES, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING AND IN GEAR WITH THE VEHICLE AT OR NEAR STOPPED, THE ENGINE RPM INCREASES DRAMATICALLY, IF THE DRIVER IS NOT ON THE BALL, THE TRUCK WILL SURGE FORWARD, SO FAR I HAVE BEEN LUCKY AND THERE HAS BEEN NOTING IN FRONT OF ME OR I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. TODAY THE REAR TIRES STARTED SQUEALING WHEN THIS HAPPENED. *TR
