2005 Ford Taurus Complaints

I WAS LEAVING THE GROCERY STORE AND DRIVING DOWN A LOCAL ROAD WHEN I REALIZED THAT I WAS ACCELERATING WITHOUT HAVING MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS HAD HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE IN THE PREVIOUS FEW WEEKS BUT FAR LESS SEVERE. THIS TIME I HAD TO KEEP MY FOOT HEAVY ON THE BRAKES TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. FORTUNATELY I WAS NEAR HOME AND MANAGED TO GET MY CAR HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT, ALTHOUGH I SAW THAT I HAD SUDDENLY DEVELOPED A FLAT ON MY FRONT LEFT TIRE. THIS HAD BEEN A PROBLEM THE PREVIOUS YEAR AND WHEN I TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP I WAS TOLD THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I HAD THE CAR TAKEN IN (MAY 20, 2019) AFTER THE TWO MINOR INCIDENTS THE PREVIOUS WEEK BUT THE REPAIR SHOP COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK PROMISING TO COME BACK IF IT ACTED UP AGAIN.

THE 2005 FORD TAURUS HAS REPEATEDLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN - 6 EXPERIENCES WITH THIS TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE - EACH TIME, MY DAUGHTER'S FOOT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT THE CAR WAS INCREASING IN SPEED. SHE HAD TO APPLY A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW THEN STOP THE VEHICLE. ONCE THE TAURUS WAS PLACED IN "PARK", THE ENGINE ROARED HORRIBLY - EACH TIME EXACTLY THE SAME ROAR.. AGAIN, THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO THE VEHICLE 6 TIMES - WITH NO ANSWERS PROVIDED FOR THIS PROBLEM. EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN 35 - 40 MPH. THIS IS MY THIRD TIME REPORTING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY ANSWERS REGARDING THE PROBLEM. THERE HASN'T BEEN FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND ON LINE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO OTHER FORD TAURUS OWNERS FOR THEIR 2005 FORD TAURUS, YET THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN INVESTIGATED. WHY ISN'T THIS PROBLEM BEING INVESTIGATED?

SEEMS AS IF THE CAR ACCELERATOR GET STUCK. CAR SLOWLY BEGINS TO INCREASE IN SPEED. WHEN FOOT IS TAKEN OFF OF THE PEDAL CAR CONTINUES TO INCREASE IN SPEED, EVEN WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE. I TAKE A LOOK UNDER THE HOOD AND FROM WHAT I CAN SEE THERE IS A PLASTIC PIECE CONNECTED TO THE ACCELERATOR CABLE THE BECOMES DETACHED FROM THE ACTUAL ACCELERATOR BRACKET SO TO SPEAK. IDK WHAT ACTUAL TERMINOLOGY IS. IT IS VERY HARD TO AND GET THE ACCELERATOR OUT OF THE STUCK POSITION. ONLY WAY I HAVE HAD SUCCESS WITH GETTING THE ACCELERATOR OUT OF THE STUCK POSITION IS TO VERY RAPIDLY PRESS PEDAL TO FLOOR AND RELEASE. ONLY THEN IT RELEASES FROM THE STUCK POSITION.

"TAKARA RECALL" MY THROTTLE HAS BEEN STICKING AND NOT RELEASING AND WHEN I THROW IT IN NEUTRAL IT IDLES AT 4000RPMS AND ONLY SOMETIMES WILL IT KICK DOWN MOST OF THE TIME IT KILLS THE ENGINE WHEN IT KICKS DOWN EVEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING 45MPH.

AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN WHILE TRYING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP OFF THE EXIT. THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE EVEN MORE PULLING FORWARD ALTHOUGH I WAS PUSHING DOWN THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD AND THE CAR STILL DROVE FORWARD NOT ALLOWING ME TO STOP UNTIL I PULLED THE GEAR INTO NEUTRAL TO ALLOW ME TO SLOW DOWN. I ALMOST CRASHED RIGHT INTO ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO BRAKE (WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR AS WELL). IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE NEXT DAY, AND IS STILL A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. I FEAR FOR MY LIFE AND REFUSE TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH MY CHILDREN IN IT AS WELL AS THE SAFETY OF OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. SOMEONE IS GOING TO END UP SERIOUSLY HURT OR DEAD BECAUSE OF THIS SEVERELY DANGEROUS ISSUE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING! ALSO, WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK THE RPM REV'S UP TO 3000/4000 EVEN AFTER TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING IT. THE CAR IS...
