With cruise control on , at highway speed of 60 to 65 , on level road , transmission will down shift one or two gears. Rpms go from 2000 up to 3500. To get it back to 6th gear I have to cut cruise control off. Rpms go back to 2000. Ford dealer cannot find any codes when tested. Car does this in first fifty miles or sometimes goes 100 miles before dropping gear. Car was bought 20 months ago with 21c miles as certified vehicle. Now has 34c on car. It has always had this problem. Last time tested by dealer 3-2015.
Today when turning into a parking space with my right foot lightly on the brake, my car suddenly accelerated. I quickly turned the wheel and braked to avoid hitting a cement post. Two weeks ago when going up a hill without my cruise control on, the car would not accelerate when I was pushing on the gas pedal. I released the pedal and the car lurched forward so fast I had to brake.
