I have to immediately shift to neutral and restart the car. It happens during rush hour so i end up making other drivers…

So speeds seem not to be an issue. I have done some online searching and have found ford has issues with auto throttle body and the symptoms sound exactly like the issues i'm having with my car. I found this, and filed the complaint and am…

I was accelerating from a stop and the vehicle began to accelerate out of control. I taped the gas pedal and that stopped the rapid acceleration. This is the second time this has happened. The first time i was passing a vehicle and the vehicle accelerated out of control until i hit the gas pedal harder. This is a serious problem that needs a recall. *tr

I have had small episodes before but didn't think much of it but yesterday, pulling out of my driveway, my car started to lunge with my foot on the brake. I tried to drive and it would speed up without me doing anything. It was almost like it was going to stall but it doesn't. No control to stop the car. I don't understand, with all these complaints why ford hasn't done anything. It is not my floor mat. I have been…
