This was happening to me last year with my 2005 Taurus. I called Ford and they basically told me that I was crazy and for me to keep driving it. After attempting to take the car to the dealer and having it accelerate on me again during rush hour in DC traffic, forcing me to get a tow truck, I decided to never drive it again. I've been afraid to sell it too because I don't want to have anyone else drive the machine of death. So, I'm out thousands for buying a defective car and now I'm out the resale value of it to.

I'm not the only one that's had this issue, all you have to do is google sudden acceleration and Taurus and you'll see thousands of complaints, almost all of which have been called into Ford. In some cases you see people pleading for more information after their loved ones have died due to this defect.

Ford knew about this and didn't do anything until the Federal Government got involved, and that is grounds for serious lawsuits. I also wonder how much is a life worth to Ford? I bring that up because I myself asked the gal on Ford's complaint line how many people had to die before this issue was resolved, and her response was: "Sir, the statisticians decide that."

Makes me sick.
