| I just filed a complaint 10-15-06, and after going over my accident that involved my 1989 mustang on 11-05,, i do believe that the wreck could have been related to the fautly equiment that is in my car,, like i said in my first form i tried to have this fixed within a week or so of purchacing the car,,and it did the same thing before i got home from the ford dealership. might i add it went to a ford dealer to be fixed..i really feel as though this is a big issuse and i think ford should be responable to find out what is the problem not at my expesne i hope to hear from someone about this matter... i thought my car was the only one that was doing this (accelerates on its own, faster and faster until you turn the car off and back on again then it is normal again) until i saw your web site and readed the complaits on the 1989 mustang,,, please help,,, thank you sherry cook. *nm | |||
