Adaptive cruise control problems by model year
What owners say
2005 lincoln tonw car accelerator sticks, with cruise control not engaged. It will accelerate while braking, at a stop, in reverse, and almost anytime at anytime. I brought the car into the shop, first time they billed me to clean things out. This didn't work so they said they would drive it to see what it was. Less than 1/8th tank of gas and a week later they found nothing. Gave it back with a computor in it and a button to push when it did it again. 3 days later I had 4 examples pushed on there computor. Now they said they can't retrive the information.
After a recall notice from ford motor company, the cruise control on my 2005 lincoln town car was disconnected at the dealership, arrow ford of abilene, texas, because of a fire hazard. Six months later I am still waiting for replacement parts to be delivered.
I have experienced sudden unexpected acceleration on my 2005 lincoln town car. This has happened many times. The car's computer was examined by 2 lincoln dealers and no errors ware found. Just yesterday, I was driving and had my foot off both the accelerator pedal and the brake as I was coasting in traffic when the car suddenly accelerated and I had to press on the brake to stop this. I then took the car immediately to my lincoln dealer who could find nothing wrong again. Do you have any information on problems with the electronic throttle control or any other part such as cruise control, etc., that could cause this problem and has this problem been reported to you by others? I met another 2005 lincoln town car owner who said he had the same problem and I also found an article on the internet by a 3rd 2005 lincoln town car owner with the same exact problem who also said the his dealer told him that the car's computer showed no errors so there was nothing that they could do about the problem.
Dt: the contact stated three times the vehicle accelerated while the contact's foot on the brakes. This happened with or without the cruise control activating. The vehicle was taken to the dealership, but they were unable to diagnose the cause of the problem.
