Tl* the contact owns a 2005 ford crown victoria. while driving 65 mph with the cruise control activated, the vehicle accelerated independently without warning. the contact mentioned that the brakes failed to engage. in order to stop the vehicle, the ignition key had to be turned to the off position. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not inspected or diagnosed. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 88,000.
While accelerating from a stopped position through a red light, when i reached 40 mph the motor started roaring as if i was pushing the gas peddle in a parked position. the vehicle accelerated over 90 mph. i tried to slow the vehicle by pushing and stomping on the brake peddle. after about 10 stomps the vehicle's motor stopped the roaring and proceeded to slow down. i have had the brakes checked and repaired (there was a hole in my brake line, where the line goes up on the body frame under driver side seat) i still have issues with the engine accelerating on it's own. i have had it checked out, but can not find the problem.
