2008 Ford Fusion Vehicle speed control Problems

“Unintended acceleration while slowing down (rolling with my foot feathering the brake) to park in a stall at my local post office my 2008 Ford Fusion instantly accelerated jump the curb crossed the sidewalk and hit the building. The car continued to rev spinning the front wheels until I shut it off with the key. I verified there is nothing blocking the pedal and the floor mat is secure and clear of the accelerator. I had my foot full hard on the brakes and was unable to stop the car. Fortunately, no one was hurt.”

I am filling this out in hopes to not only get my vehicle fixed but to also save a life! I have a little one that rides everywhere with me. …”

“My car wouldn't accelerate, then my check engine light comes on. Within 20 my car completely shuts off. Had to tow it to a mechanic, to tell me the computer system in my is burning up the coils in my engine. I called the dealership to see if there was a recall on this, and there was not. In fact as I look on the internet I have similar stories about the exact same problem. I told the dealership that and there was nothing they could do. Also on this site I reading how some of them the dashboard curls up, mine is also doing that. I bought this car brand new, just paid it off and this happens. …”
