2 TIMES SINCE SEPT. 2018 THE CABLE UNDER HOOD TO ACCELERATOR CAME OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. THE FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH. THE MOST RECENT I WAS DRIVING IN A SUBDIVISION AT 10 MPH.THE RPM'S INCREASED DRASTICALLY. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS ISSUE AND FORD NEEDS TO FIX IT. I GOT THIS FROM MY ELDERLY MOTHER AND I AM JUST…

VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND KEPT GOING FASTER. BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE AND ENDED UP IN A COTTON FIELD. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THE ACCELERATION STUCK. TAPPING THE GAS PEDDLE WORKED THE FIRST TWO BUT NOT THE LAST TIME. IT KNOCKED A HOLE IN THE TRANSMISSION PAN AND DID SOMETHING TO THE BRAKE LINE. *TR

MY CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. *TR

CAR ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING.

I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING ABOUT 70. I PUT ON THE CRUISE CONTROL BUT IT WOULDN'T ENGAGE. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES THEN GAVE UP. NOT 5 MINUTES LATER I TRIED TO GO SLOWER, ABOUT 65, AND THE CAR SPED UP TO 70 ON ITS OWN. I WAS CONFUSED BECAUSE THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT WAS NOT LIT, WHEREAS IT WAS LIT WHEN IT WOULDN'T WORK. I PRESSED THE OFF BUTTON MANY TIMES BUT IT KEPT TRYING TO ACCELERATE. MY FRIEND…

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN I NOTICE THAT THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. I TRIED TO PLACE MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR KEPT GOING. MY HUSBAND AND I WERE TERRIFIED. I PULLED TO THE SIDE AND PLACED THE CAR IN PARK. ONCE I DID THAT THE RPMS RAISED TO ABOUT 4. I WAS SO SCARED THAT THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO BLOW I QUICKLY CUT THE CAR OFF. I SAT FO…

1. SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CAUSED BY SPEED CONTROL CABLE DETACHING FROM SHAFT ON THROTTLE BODY DUE TO WEAR, 2. OCCURS EVERY FEW DAYS, CAN CAUSE CRASH 3. TEMPORARY FIX IS TO DRILL A HOLE AND PLACE A COTTER PIN THRU THE SPEED CONTROL CABLE END TO RETAIN THE CABLE END TO THE SHAFT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY SOME IN THE CAR ON AN INTERSTATE, I TRIED TO SET MY CRUISE CONTROL. THE CRUISE WOULD REGISTER THAT IT WAS SET BUT IT WOULD NOT HOLD THE SPEED THAT WAS SET. AFTER A LITTLE WHILE MY CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. AFTER TRYING TO APPLY THE BRAKES, WHICH JUST SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GRINDING THE BRAKES BECAUSE IT DIDN'T WANT TO IDLE DOWN. PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, THE RPMS REVVED OVER 400…

CAR ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN. I HAVE TO PUT THE CARD IN NEUTRAL AND KICK THE ACCELERATOR TO GET IT TO DECELERATE. I GOOGLED IT AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE FRAYED ACCELERATOR PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED ON THE INTERNET. *TR
