Tl*the contact owns a 2006 ford taurus. While stopped at a stop sign, the vehicle unexpectedly accelerated to 40 MPH. The contact automatically slammed on her brakes and avoided crashing into any other vehicles. She merged onto the highway and removed her foot from the accelerator pedal, but the vehicle continued to accelerate. The contact had to depress the brake pedal with maximum force in order for the vehicle to slow down. As a result, the engine revved and the vehicle finally began to decelerate. She managed to drive the vehicle home and placed the gear into park. The engine revved for a couple of minutes before gradually stopping. The vehicle has not been inspected. The contact called numerous dealers and she feels that she should not have to pay for a diagnostic. The failure and current mileages were 50,000.

This is a government owned fleet vehicle (the florida department of law enforcement). This vehicle has stalled five (5) times. I took the vehicle to the ford of pompano beach dealership and they could not find anything wrong with the vehicle.
I have had numerous instances where the car does not" roll over" or start. The latest problem occurred on 11/10/06. I was making a left hand turn at a busy intersection going approximately 30 miles per hour when the car just died in the middle of the intersection. Luckily, no accident occurred but this was a very dangerous situation and could have resulted in injury or even worse.
