| On january 2nd, 2012 on 2-separate occasions the engine accelerated to almost 6000 rpm while i was stopped or nearly stopped while parking the car. the car was in drive and i had my right foot on the brake but the engine acceleration happened very quickly and on the second incident the brakes were not holding the car. i was able to get the trans into neutral untill the acceleration died down to the normal rpm. on the second occasion i shut the ignition off 2-times before the accelration stopped. i have had this problem with prior cars and the manufacturers have had no system in place to diagnose the problem and because it is a random event it is almost impossible to replicate. because of litigation in accident cases i believe the manufacturers are in denial of this electrical problem. | |||

| Driving on the freeway in torrance ca at 65 mph when the car began to buck and jerk and slowed to about 30 mph. it would not take any more power or acceleration. i was in the right lane and was able to exit and park and i then noted the temp gauge showed hot although the engine did not appear hot. had it towed to dealer who diagnosed the problem as a faulty temp sensor that showed the engine was overheating and causig the engine to go into the partial shut-down mode. this has happened often enough that ford has a service bulletin out on the problem, but no recall. this could have been a disaster if i had still been in the left or diamond lane so there should be a manufacturer recall to have these parts checked out. apparently some are corroded. | |||
