The car started accelerating, on its own, up to 40 MPH from a stop sign or red light. The gas pedal was not stuck. Legacy ford in lagrande, oregon has told us it is an internal problem and they will have to put their diagnostic machine on it. We have already paid them 179.36 for labor, gasket and cleaner. They had told us to bring the car to them if it happened when we were in town so they could test it further. Last week I was in town and it happened so I took it to them. They couldn't diagnose the problem at the time so that is why they need to use the diagnostic machine. I tried to report this to cadillac but they weren't interested in my problem.

Car stalled out while driving at 45 miles per hour. Difficult to control with no power steering and power brakes. Had I been driving around a corner, on the highway or going down a hill, this would have resulted in an accident. Auto had to be towed, would not start again. Dealer said problem was the fuel pump failure. Fuel pump also failed on 08/04/2003. In that instance, the auto was stopped and would not start. Appears fuel pump design is defective and very unsafe. I did notice other complaints on your web site for this model/year car that show the auto stalling out while being driven. These might also be related to the same problem.
