2010 Ford Explorer acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
2010 ford explorer limited with adjustable pedals. The brake and gas pedals are too close together. When I stepped on the brake my foot contacted the accelerator pedal and the engine accelerated. When the brake is fully depressed it is below the level of the accelerator pedal. If the foot is not fully on the brake pedal, it contacts the accelerator and the car jumps forward.
My 2010 ford explorer jump forward while sitting still with my foot on the brake. It had happen twice. May 15,2010 and may 17,2010.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) stuck accelerator pedal. While driving at approx. 35 MPH attempted to stop at red light. Brakes were not holding much like you would experience after driving in wet weather. Weather conditions were dry. Pressing harder activated the anti-lock system and eventually stopped into the middle of intersection. Near t-bone accident. Engine continued to over rev until placed into neutral and turning key into off position. Restarted fine, but had pulsing speed like a surging feeling. Vin: [xxx] - avis rental
