Description of the problem | In at least 5 incidents i have experienced sudden acceleration. 3 times it has happened while entering a highway. It has happened at least twice in town. In every incident i was accelerating when it would occur. The foot peddle depressed without any pressure to the gas. My foot was not on the break. I have also experienced bucking on numerous occasions when going in reverse. I believe the problem is the electronic throttle control system. I purchased this car used from a local dealer. They never disclosed any issues with my vehicle. I have looked online and called a ford dealer but cannot find a recall on this issue. It is a very real issue. Feel free to come test drive my car! It is not a matter of if it will happen but when it will happen. July 17, 2017 was the most recent incident of sudden acceleration. |
