“My Ford Taurus self accelorates when on the road.even after taking foot off the gas pedal it will drive itself faster.making using the brakes difficult it does not want to stop.it is very scary to drive .my husband has changed the cruise control cable,same and many sensors and nothing is fixing the problem. If Ford doubts this can happen they are welcome to take my car for a drive.it happens every time we drive the car .”
