Two extremely frightening experiences happened this day. (1) I was driving on interstate 95 and the Explorer braked extremely hard from a speed of 65 mph to zero. There was nothing around and I could not determine any reason for this. I proceeded on to my destination and the vehicle accelerated inexplicably to 95 mph. I tried to turn off the cruise control manually and by tapping the brake (I was fearful of the vehicle rolling). Thank god, I was able to maneuver around traffic in northern new jersey and then the vehicle reduced speed. It was a very terrifying experience and one the Ford dealer told me he has no explanation for. I have had many, failures of the myfordtouch system which I will detail in a separate incident report.
