When backing out of the driveway, i had no control over the vehicle, even while pressing on the brakes. i lost control, went into a yard and hit a tree.
At acceleration the car won't shift when needed then it'll automatically down shift and stop accelerating. the rpm gage needle bounces up & down with & with acceleration imaged speed still decreases then something catches and it'll start accelerating & rpm going to high then starts all over before finally working right.
I was driving around our local lake doing 25 mph. i had just come around a curve and was headed for another curve pretty quickly. all of the sudden the car started speeding up on its own. i took my foot off the gas pedal and i hit the brakes to try to slow down and nothing happened. the car continued to speed up on its own. my speed got up to about 40 mph when i came up on a curve. i slammed on the brakes again and tried to turn the wheel but i had no control over the car at this point. it continued to accelerate and i missed the corner and landed in a pond on the other side of the lake in about 3 1/2 feet of water. my car was then submerged up the top of the trunk in water.
My son was driving his 2009 mustang and after stopping at a stop sign in a residential neighborhood, he slowly accelerated and the car suddenly accelerated quickly on its own. he said the gas pedal went to the floor, he tried pushing brake and it was not stopping the car. it sent him through another intersection, he engaged emergency brake to no avail. luckily his car went through an area of soggy grass that helped slow the car down, and came to a stop by running into hedges and resting next to a brick church. he described hearing the rpm's revving up along with the sudden acceleration. he also described the steering wheel as "locking up".
I was driving my vehicle on the highway (i-4) on my way to work on 10/24/2019, i was going about 65 mph and suddenly the vehicle decreased speed to about 35 -40 mph, on the instrument panel the wrench light or symbol came on, i was almost rear ended and hit by 2 vehicles traveling at normal speed. as i pressed on the gas pedal the car would not pick up speed, i believe this is called "limp mode'. i was luckily able to avoid the accident by pulling off to the side of the highway. i shut the vehicle off, since i was not sure if it could also be a fire hazard. waited a few minutes and looked up the issue on the internet. i turned the vehicle back on and it was as if nothing had ever happened. i was able to get back on the road and i thought maybe it was just a malfunction. i was very scared but drove into work with no idling issues. saturday 10/26/2019 i was on my way to the grocery store and it happened again, near my house on a residential road. i was going about 35-40 and ...
While driving my car it went into a "limp mode". it has happened several times but this particular day i was crossing an intersection and my car just lost power. i was almost smashed on each side. a wrench light popped up on my dashboard and the car would not move. i was literally stuck in the middle of the intersection. i had to place the car in park and turn it off for 3 minutes. it started back up but it still does it at least 5-6 times a week. i had the throttle body cleaned and it still does it. i am only the second owner of this vehicle and i take good care of it. i love the mustangs, but if i would've know of this very serious safety issue, i wouldn't have bought it. i can be driving at 60mph and this will happen. this is very dangerous and frightening. i've read that some previous ford models have been recalled for this same issue. i don't understand why the mustangs haven't been. this is unacceptable by ford. when i called them they just told me to keep my receipts. i cannot believe they are doing this ...
Random acceleration. backed out of parking space , put car in drive and pressed accelerator to move forward. acceleration increased on its own. removed foot from accelerator, pressed the brake. acceleration continued to increase, hit the brake pedal hard.. accelerator continued to increase on its own. (couldn't stop vehicle) hit a curb and flipped the vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford mustang. while accelerating from a stop, the vehicle failed to accelerate and the wrench warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to john bleakley ford (located at 870 thornton rd, lithia springs, ga 30122, (770) 941-9000) where it was diagnosed that the output shaft speed sensor needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. the approximate failure mileage was 64,667.
While accelerating on a public highway the throttle went straight to redline and would not decelerate until the transmission was shifted into neutral and the motor was completely shut off. vehicle was restarted by setting the key back to run and placing the clutch back in 2nd gear while in motion. the car could have easily injured motorist's had it not been shut down in properly.
Engine goes to fuel throttle while driving on highway or in town & also when at a full stop on its own i have to either shut off ignition or if driving put vehicle in neutral then hit throttle to stop the high rpm extremely unsafe. have not driven car in over two monthd
