2005 Ford Mustang GT Vehicle speed control Problems

“After coming to a stop, I try to accelerate and the car stalls and jerks into gear. I was told that the throttle was dirty. I had it cleaned and got a new air filter but was still experiencing the same problem. The next step was to replace throttle sensor. The mechanic advised to check the recall list and I several people who experience the same problem with no help from Ford. I saw this site and decided to post.”

“My 05 Mustang Gt is a standard and I was coming out of a construction zone in a town out onto a highway. I was going about 20 MPH in the construction zone, and pressed on the accelerator to speed up. When I took my foot of the gas peddle to shift gears I noticed the peddle didn't come up with my foot, and that the car was still accelerating. At this time I went ahead and shifted into neutral, and was now going about 60 MPH. I then tried to jam my foot under the gas peddle to lift it up. …”
