1992 Ford Crown Victoria acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 39 of 39, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have a 1992 ford crown victoria. We took a trip to fl and on the way back home to sc I hhad the the cruise control on. We was on i95 and all of a sudden the gas peddel just went straight to the floor. My car would not slow down or stop. The cruise control would not turn off. We reached very high speeds at time and the traffic was bad. The only way we stopped was that my husband truned the key off and we coasted by the time we did stop my brakes was smoken. This is not suppose to happen. We let the car cool for a while then checked the brakes and got back on the road and with in the next 5 min it did it again. We didn't even turn on the cruise control this time. But it acted like it was on. So we had to turn the key off again and coast. If we put it in n the engine just reved up really high. Finaly my husband found the fuse for the cuise control and took it out. We did get home safley but if this would have happend on a regular road other then i95 I dont know what would have happen. So is there a recall on this. I have found in the owners connection that there is a recall on my car for a speed control. Is this the same.?? When I called the 1800 number they said ther was not such recall. ??? Why?? If it is listed why is there not recall? The recall number is the federal safety agency recall no 99v124/ford recall no. 99s15. Please contact me either way? This was very scarry. I dont know what I would have done if my husband had not been in the car. Thank you rox ann
