Unintended acceleration: i was in heavy city traffic. without warning, my engine started to race full speed. (in a crown victoria, that's very fast). the only way to slow it was to push the brake as hard as i could. finally got it pulled over and stopped. even in neutral, the engine raced full speed. very frightening!!! a man came from tipton ford in nacogdoches, tx and took it to shop. they installed (1-2w7z*9f715*ba valve asy - throttle air by-pass). charged me $278.00!! i have never had any mechanical repairs to this car. i have always trusted this car to be safe. now that security has been taken away. i understand there is a lawsuit involving this problem. if so, i want my money back !!
