| I was driving approx 30 miles an hour when the car started to accelerate on its own. i had to pull over on the side of the road and turn the car off to stop the acceleration. pressing the break had no affect on the car auto accelerating. this has been happening very frequently over the past week. no when it starts to accelerate by its self i put the car in neutral and it accelerates up to approx 4000 rpm, to stop the acceleration i press the gas pedal and release quickly and the car settles back down, stopping the acceleration. i feel that this is very dangerous to me and my family and needs to be investigated. | |||

| My 2005 ford taurus has a problem slowing down on several occasions when i attempt to slow down at stop signs or red lights. there's been many times when i've almost ran into a car in front of me because i could not stop or slow down. instead of stopping when i apply the brakes, the engine revves up and speeds up on its on. this has been going on for several months and i'm afraid that i may crash into someone in front of me at a stop sign or red light. also, even when i'm driving on the highway or a nomral street or road, the car will sometimes speed up on its on even when i take my foot off the gas pedal. this is very dangerous and i'm going to take my car to a ford dealership to see if they can fix or repair this manfufacturer defect. | |||
