On saturday february 06,2016 at 12 a.M. I started my car and it sounded normal. When I placed my car in reverse it started to idle very highly and was reading 3000 rpm although I was still holding my foot on the brake. I placed the car in park and turned it off. I started the car again and it sounded normal until I placed it in drive and started accelerating. The car was pulling as if it wanted to take off during braking. When I removed my foot from the brake pedal the car accelerated on it's own. I drove 1.3...

Normal clear weather driving down busy street when care suddenly slowed down almost resulting in a collision with vehicles behind me. The engine stopped , I restarted with very limited drivability the etc failsafe mode kicked in for no apparent reason this issue must be addressed before someone is seriously injured.

Randomly when applying the brakes the car accelerates instead of stopping. This is referred to as unintended acceleration. In some cases this happened on the freeway and others on city streets at very low speeds. Attached is my correspondence with ford over this matter. As you will see from the correspondence, these incidents occurred soon after I bought the vehicle in 2000 (first incident was in 2001) up until most recently, 2/28/2015. I'm uploading three documents: 1 - my initial to ford dated 08/23/2015...

The engine blew with no prior warning from any of the vehicle controls except for the trac control light. The car continues to sit in my garage because I do not have $5000.00 To fix it. *Tr

I was completely stopped at a red light with my foot on the brake. The car suddenly lurched on it's own. My reaction was to apply both feet to the brake with force. In spite of that, the vehicle continued to crawl and it rolled into the intersection. I was hit by an oncoming car. My car was totaled. *Tr

I own a 2001 lincoln mercury ls v-8 with 72,678 miles on the odometer .. Frequently (within the last several months) I have experienced sudden and uncontrolled acceleration when driving the vehicle around town in the 25-45 mph speed range. Hitting the brakes fails to override the acceleration. The only solution to prevent an accident or to slow the vehicle is to throw the automatic gear shifter into neutral and clear the acceleration with a hard press on the accelerator while the car is neutral. The other remedy...
