I have a 1999 Ford explore. The problem that I had was when I was driving up a hill going below the speed limit while not using the speed control my Ford explore just started to accelerate at high speeds by it's self. I could not slow it down. I thought that it could have been the speed control but no light was on and I hit the off button several times. Finally I had to place it in neutral and the engine was still on acceleration. I called Ford and they did not help me. Then I had it sent to a dealership and had them document what was going on which they did. They charged me seven hundred dollars to fix it and I am still having problems with it. I am sure that I am not the only person that this has happen too, and I am worried to drive my car.
