Description of the problem | The following incident has been filed with the ford motor company. I want to be clear that this incident was not the result of a floor mat or driver error. At no time did the driver have her foot on the accelerator nor was there an object on, around, under, or over the accelerator. Incident: on 18 february 2010 at approximately 1230 pm my wife, mother in-law, father in-law and infant daughter were proceeding northbound on water tower rd. Located in bentonville, ar. There were zero distractions inside the vehicle and my wife was fully alert with no physical impairments. Road conditions were dry and weather was sunny with great visibility. As they approached the intersection of water tower rd. And battlefield blvd. At approximately 5-10 miles per hour, my wife began breaking. After placing her right foot on the brake pedal, she immediately noticed/heard/felt/experienced increased acceleration and decreased breaking power during her attempts to stop. She immediately increased pressure on the brake pedal ensuring her right foot was not on the accelerator. The engine continued its efforts to increase speed while my wife fought to bring the vehicle to a stop. They proceeded into and through the vacant intersection at approximately 5-10 miles per hour and fortunately without incident. My wife |
