Description of the problem | I am requesting a recall for the ford speed control systems. They are causing uncontrolled accelerations which do not respond to the breaks. I was stopped in a drive through window with my foot on the break. The vehicle was at a full stop. Suddenly while my foot was on the break the engine accelerated out of control. Because my foot was on the break the vehicle was not able to move forward. This was not a mistake of putting my foot on the accelerator because i was preventing the vehicle from moving forward by having my foot on the break. Quickly i placed the vehicle in park preventing it from driving off the end of the drive through. Afterwards i proceeded to conduct research and found that many other people are reporting the same problem. The ford speed control systems are causing uncontrolled accelerations which lead to severe accidents and deaths. *nm |
