Car lunges forward when in drive while stopped, easing forward, and braking in the parking lots and streets. The same problem occurred with the 2006 model I owned previously and ford replaced the throttle body. Please reference nthsa case #10468869 and ford case#1670332142 for futher information on this problem.
Vehicle was stationary at a traffic signal and rear ended by another automobile which pushed it into the stopped vehicle in front. The drivers seat collapsed backward to a horizontal position in the accident leaving me laying down in the seat. My neck and legs were injured in the accident.
Unwanted sudden acceleration when removing foot from brake pedal sometimes! Going from a stopped position, the car lurches forward before your foot reaches the gas pedal after removing it from the brake!
We experience the doors opening light coming on saying doors are a jar. Rpms rev up in the car will pull forward at a stop. Passenger seat belt will open. Transmission will show slowing in shifting gears. The AC will experience shutting off during hot temperature no cool air will flow through vents.
Cluster panel goes dark, affecting ability to see speed and defroster's ability to clear windows.
The car surges when I take it out of park (reverse or drive). It also surges when slowing down or when I have the brakes on. A little old asian lady cussed me out one day because she was behind my car when I put it in reverse and it surged. I didn't hit her but it really scarred the heck out of her. It happens all the time. 154,000 miles
After the last stunt of getting injured I was reluctant to take the car out, however I had a vet emergency with my pet which I have documents to prove appointment. The office is less then 5 miles away, as soon as I came to a stop assign the car accelerated into oncoming traffic then stahlled today??? This car is dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!! Im going to wind up getting killed in this car, its my only car, I purchased it under good faith, its just getting worse and worse? Ford refuses to contact me back!!!!!!!!!!
