This is the second time that my car accelerated on its own, once while stopped, the second time while driving. the first occurrence of occurred while stopped at 0 miles per hour at a drive-through, i had to push on the brakes harder to prevent the car from hitting the car ahead of me. a second occurrence occurred yesterday on february 14 of 2014. i was driving at 35 miles per hour in a 45 miles per hour zone when the car automatically without warning accelerated; i had to steer the car into a snow bank and i almost hit a large tree i am very concerned about the above occurrences and i will get in touch with my ford dealership tomorrow to see what can be done after the first incident i took the car to the ford dealership wart was evaluated and i was advised that there is nothing wrong with the car. *tr
Traction control issue.... during snowstorm , trying to drive up a hill with a left hand turn , tires lost traction and car electronically reduced rpm speed... loss of speed almost sent car sideways into ditch. had to turn around and get run at hill 4 more times.... each time when traction with tires was broken ...rpms were dropped to nothing leaving car stopped near stalling in middle of hill. will be dealing with dealership soon.. i feel that the fix for this is going to be remove fuse for traction control.....or disable traction control system.. this car is a stick shift... i can see how another 120 reports on this page with auto transmissions, may be the same issue..... *tr
