| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Vehicle rapidly accelerated on its own as we were leaving a rest stop, and we were forced to ultimately turn off the ignition before it could be brought to a stop. speeds exceeded 100 mph - brakes were applied, and were heated to the point that one of the front struts actually "blew out". my wife was driving at the time, and she quickly reached a state of panic, not realizing that the ignition could be switched off and the steering would be maintained - if i had not been with her, this may well have been an incident involving serious injury or death. i spoke to ford about this, but they state "it doesn't happen" and refused to provide me with a written denial of my request for an inspection of the vehicle. |
