2004 Ford TAURUS Vehicle Speed Control Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	On four separate occasions, the first being 01/27/12, i have experienced my car accelerating on its own. It felt was as if the car was possessed. It sped from 40mph to 55mph without my foot on the gas. I had to struggle to brake at a red light, fighting the car as it tried to resist stopping. Thankfully, i was able to come to a stop, place the car in park and put the parking brake on as i waited at the red light. Once the light was green and it was time to drive again, the moment i took my foot off the brake, the car immediately accelerated rapidly, without any assistance from me. This was during heavy traffic, so i was very scared, and broke into tears when i finally parked at work safely. This has happened on three other occasions over the past two months, one where my car went from 30mph to 55mph on its own. When these incidents have occurred, i have put my foot behind the gas pedal and pulled forward, checking to make sure it wasn't stuck, as that has happened once or twice as well. I am on a tight budget and can not presently afford to get my car fixed, so i have no knowledge of if/when this will happen again. It comes and goes without warning. Sometimes once the car starts speeding up by itself, it does not stop until i am at my destination. Other times, it ceases after a few minutes without notice. Please look into this, as i saw a report that other taurus owners are experiencing the same issue, and this is a very dangerous problem. Thank you.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
