general problems of the 2007 Ford Mustang

The engine on my 2007 Ford Mustang was revving high when I started the vehicle. When I put it into drive, the vehicle took off on me hitting another vehicle and crashing through a wall accross from the spot I was parked in. This unintended acceleration has not happened prior to this incident but the vehicle only had 5,075 miles on it.

I have a 2007 Ford Mustang 4. 0 v6 with approximately 42k miles. It has recently developed a very serious safety-related defect which the Ford dealership has refused to investigate. For no apparent reason, while stopped in traffic and with my foot firmly on the break pedal,, the engine will suddenly go full throttle. This forces the car to suddenly lunge forward as the rear tires start spinning, overriding the front breaks. This has caused me to come dangerously close to colliding with the vehicle in front of me or entering an intersection into oncoming traffic. The only recourse is to quickly turn off the ignition which seems to reset the problem. This happens with some regularity, approximately 2 to 3 times a day but is not reproducible on demand. The Ford dealership has offered to investigate, at my expense, but with no assurance that this problem would be corrected. I have had to alter the way that I drive to compensate for this by leaving additional space between my car and the one in front of me and at intersections. I fear that I may not be able to prevent my vehicle from becoming involved in an accident because of this defect.

The contact owns a 2007 Ford Mustang. While driving, the vehicle shut off without warning. The contact has taken the vehicle to the dealer three times. The dealer found no failures the first time. On the second visit, the dealer stated that the fuel throttle had failed. As of June 28, 2007, the vehicle is back at the dealer for the third time and they have been unable to determine the cause of failure. The current mileage is 3,100 and failure mileage was 2,308.
