general problems of the 2004 Ford E-250

I arrived at my destination, lined up to park, shifted my foot from accelerator to brake and . . . Yikes the engine was racing like crazy. I put both feet on the brake, shoving hard, engine continues to accelerate over the curb & into a fence. Pulling against the brakes, the engine continued to race. I reached to yank it out of gear, when it took off backwards across the parking lot. Still standing on the brakes, I frantically looked for a path that would give me time to kill the engine. Skipped the window that I couldn't see if there were people on the other side of it . . . Angled to go around parked cars and went for the ignition switch to kill the engine. After I got the engine switch off, the momentum carried me into the first parked car, which shoved it into the next parked car. Thank goodness there were no people in either, nor in the parking lot!! no warnings of any kind. The entire vehicle is available for inspection; it has yet to be inspected. There is no way I would drive this suicidal-murdering death-trap anywhere, so I had it towed. Police and insurance have been notified.

The contact owns a 2004 Ford e250. The contact stated that the glue that held the emergency brake pad separated from the pedal. The contact stated he tried to use the emergency brake but it was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who inspected the failure but did not repair the failure. The manufacturer was notified who stated there was no recall and if there was a recall in the future he would receive a reimbursement. The failure mileage was 175,339.
