Car Accelerates On Its Own Problems of Ford Flex

While braking and parking my vehicle, my vehicle had unwanted acceleration. Going as high as 120mph and holding the brake the vehicle was still moving. I had to hurry and shift into park and turn off my vehicle. Other times this has happened while coming stop and it would go up to about 40mph and I would desperately hold the brake scared I would hit someone.

Was pulling into gas station today and breaking at pump when car suddenly accelerated. I applied break hard, tires spun until I shifted into neutral. I then shifted into park and turned off vehicle. Rpms had shot up, did not look down but could hear engine revving. Would have hit someone if I had not been at the gas pump. Will take vehicle to dealer ASAP for inspection. This s the third time this has occurred in last 2 weeks.

He was able to brake the vehicle, so it traveled only about 5 to 10 feet. Last week, the same scenario occurred again. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. A diagnosis revealed there was a problem with the electronics, and the accelerator unit was replaced.
