Car Accelerates On Its Own problems of the 2012 Ford Escape

As I was pulling into my driveway my car had a sudden unintended acceleration. The engine was racing so I put my foot on the break which had no effect so I put the car into park. The engine continued to run at full speed so I turned the car off. I then called a tow truck to take the car to be repaired. This is the second time this happened and Ford will not do anything about this ongoing issue. In July 2018 I had the throttle body replaced with a Ford factory part. Here it is two years and 11 thousand miles later and it just happened again. Ford, shame on you.

I experienced unintended acceleration while driving my 2012 Ford Escape on July 7, 2018 while driving in my neighborhood. I was unable to control the speed of the vehicle by using the brakes and crashed into a neighbor's mailbox. I finally shut off the car to make it stop.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Escape. After pulling into a parking space, the engine unexpectedly revved very high before the vehicle erroneously accelerated forward and crashed into a tree. During the time of the incident, the contact's foot was positioned on the brake pedal. No injuries were report and no police report was filed. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer (ted britt Ford in fairfax, va) was notified of the failure, but the manufacturer was not. The failure mileage was 50,000.

I purchased the vehicle back in December of 2012 from robinson Ford in calexico, California. A few months (I can¿t recall the exact date) after driving the Escape when coming to a stop and as I was braking, the vehicle suddenly accelerated. Again in 2013, the vehicle accelerated as I was braking for a stop. This time I took the car to the dealer where I purchased the vehicle (record on file with the dealer) to report the matter and have the vehicle checked. They could not find anything wrong with the Ford Escape. On Monday, November 23, 2015 at ~9pm as I was braking on a surface street to come to a stop, the vehicle suddenly began to accelerate. I pushed hard on the brake and the car continued to accelerate and ¿jump¿. This time I had two witnesses in the car with me and the situation was frightening to say the least. I once again took the vehicle to the dealer (robinson Ford in calexico, CA 92231) where the same mechanic who last checked the vehicle (ramon baltazar) said there was nothing wrong with the car that he could identify (record on file with the dealer). I am know very worried and concerned that this sudden acceleration issue could result in me harming someone should this happen again. In fact, I now keep a significant distance from the vehicle in front of me anytime I am approaching a stop. I no longer feel safe or confident driving this vehicle.
