| While applying the brake to stop at a light on a highway access road, the vehicle had trouble stopping. it started violently jerking and vibrating and the brakes were all the way to the floor. the rpm's read in the 4's. i pulled over and in a parking lot, the vehicle rapidly reached 45 mph without stepping on the gas pedal. i was reluctant to have it reach a greater speed so i stopped the vehicle. it once again did not want to respond properly to the brakes. i called ford and eplained the sudden acceleration and the vehicle difficulty in stopping, there are no recalls. i researched online, and it appears that there is a faulty cruise control cable that sticks to the throttle and leaves it open. i once again contacted ford for an estimate to replace the cruise control cable. the service advisor stated that there was no such thing as a cruise control cable. i called the parts department and they said that part is aftermarket and is no longer available. this is a very dangerous situation. i was reading the aol vehicle complaints on this and accidents have occured and people have been injured. i don't know why ford does not recognize this serious safet issue in a timely manner. | |||

| Vehicle has had two incidents that may be related to faulty acceleration. perhaps you need to investigate older ford taurus for problems currently under review on 2006, etc. dates and mileage are approx. i do not have reports available. vehicle had speed control. while attempting to park the accelerator suddenly revved up when i hit the brakes. happened so suddenly the car went out of control bounced over parking lot bump and hit other vehicles causing damages to those as well as my vehice and injury to me as well as cost me a ticket. that was in 2006 as i recall. in january, 2009 or december, 2008 the accelerator suddenly revved up again when i was pulling into traffic from a parking lot on to the highway. i shut off the engine and volunteers helped push the vehicle off the road. i had it towed and have had it stored in my driveway since. no one has ever scanned, etc. to determine what was wrong. is it safe to even sell to anyone? mileage for the second incident was approx. 147000. i have a mandate from the city to remove the vehicle by may, 2012 or face fines therefore if you need anything test needs done before then. message phone only included. | |||
