| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: To start, my vehicle is a 2003 ford escape with 36,000 miles. it is a company vehicle that i'm able to use professionally and personally. i was driving home from a quick trip to town and the accelerator began to have a mind of its own. i was traveling on the interstate and the vehicle continued to accelerate without pushing on the gas. luckily i acted quickly and was able to put the truck in neutral and pull over to the side safely. i turned the vehicle off and looked to see if there was anything on the floorboard that was causing constant acceleration, there wasn't. i turned the vehicle back on to see what would happen and the rpm's sored to 4 with being in park. this is the first time this vehicle had performed in this manner. i must say that this was very frightning. i wasn't sure i was going to be able to stop.*ak |
