I was backing down the driveway when my ford windstar 2003 engine started revving and i had to put both feet on the breaks to stop the car from running out of control. after i put both feet on the brakes to release the engine from revving did it stop. it happened again on the same day and it took all my strength to stop the ford windstar 2003 model. it could have done a lot of damage either to another car or a person. it is very dangerous and this problem has to be corrected or put on a recall basis before other people who might have the problem, can either get it fixed or taken off the road.
