- the contact stated that the car accelerates unexpectedly. The contact stated that once she starts the car and drives a short distance at 10 mph and comes to a complete stop the car will then accelerate unexpectedly. She has taken the car to the dealer (freemont Ford) a dozen times and they have not been able to find a problem. The contact said that the car is still at the dealer.
While attempting to accelerate, electronic throttle is very slow to respond. In times when needing to accelerate immediately, throttle will not let you. It can be very scary. This is a big safety concern for me. Dealer has no solution to the problem. Dealer said it is common with other 500's.
