Filed Mar 28, 2018 · Acceleration · 98,000 miles · ID · crash

Unintended acceleration while slowing down (rolling with my foot feathering the brake) to park in a stall at my local post office my 2008 ford fusion instantly accelerated jump the curb crossed the sidewalk and hit the building. The car continued to rev spinning the front wheels until I shut it off with the key. I verified there is nothing blocking the pedal and the floor mat is secure and clear of the accelerator. I had my foot full hard on the brakes and was unable to stop the car. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

While driving at low speeds the car has on several occasions surged forward and last week after starting the car the gas pedal was unresponsive and the "wrench" warning light came on. I restarted it and it seemed to be ok but the check engine light was on. I plugged in a code reader and it gave me error codes p2104 and p2112. I can't believe this isn't part of a recall based on the number of people it is affecting.
