Depressing brake pedal after removing foot from accelerator, vehicle continues to accelerate. The lower the brake pedal, the faster the accelleration. Twice at stop signals I was able to put the car into park; when moved to drive, all was normal. On sept 7, in marietta ga, I was unable to move transmission into park. As the car was moving very fast. From a distance of 40 to 50 feet, car climbed an earthen embankment, over large shrubs. It stopped when top was reached. I was able get into reverse and back down. A service man at the marietta ford dealer said car was driveable. And that this happens all the time as the brake and accelelrator pedals are close. When the damage repaired in st. Louis, it was more extensive than the adjustor had estimated. This same problem occurred as I was driving to my home from the repair shop. Scary! Mr
