| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The vehicle engine accelerates for no reason when i apply the brakes to stop and tries to move foward requiring me to reapply my foot on the brake pedal with force and put the transmission in nutrual to stop the forward or reverse motion of the vehicle. i had taken delivery of this vehicle on december 16, 2004 and have as of this date have driven it less then 2800 miles due to a major safety defect. i have taken this vehicle to the dealer service center to rectify this problem 3 times, i have also advised them in writing that, this problem makes the vehicle unsafe to drive on the road, and they advisedd me that, since this problem does not appear as an error code in the computer system they are unable to find or repair this. in essence they are unwilling to investigate this problem beyond attaching it to a computer to see if it shows any error code. the problem may be mechincal which would not show up in any computer or the problem may be in the transmission, or the fuel feed but they just have no intention to make this vehicle safe. i belive that this is not an isolated incedent but may be inherent in all vehicles built by ford in this class. |
