| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving from i66 to va28 n after regaining 60 mph the car kept speeding up, applied brakes but brakes overheated and car kept gaining speed. then realized gas pedal was stuck open and would not release. shut engine down, restarted and quickly moved to right side of road (had to, cross 2 lanes of traffic) rather dangerous situation. had car towed to ford dealer who said they would replace throttle cable. they said cable became jammed. i can find no recall for this problem in the online database. i think this could be a very dangerous situation to a less experienced driver and perhaps need to be investigated.*ak |
