| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving on gs parkway the car accelerated from 65 miles per hr to 100 miles per hr. and would not slow down even when stepping on the brake. the car was speeding out of control while in the middle lane. we then tried to get over to side of parkway onto a grassy hill so we would not hit any other cars. the car slowed down enough for me and my son to jump out on drivers side before the car went full speed ahead toward the parkway but hit a guard rail and flipped over. by some miracle my son and i were not hurt. i called ford to recall car and they sent letter which said we regret any inconvenience that you have experienced in this matter. contact your insurance company. i only had liability so insurance company not involved. there could have been many injuries or even deaths including me and my son due to this defect. car was damaged beyond repair. *nm |
