1 Car Throttle Stuck problem

Failure Date: 08/28/2017

When driving down the highway during afternoon rush hour, my car began to accelerate at high rate (stuck at 4000-5000 rpm) causing me to speed down the highway with very little ability to stop as I hit the brakes but could not overcome the acceleration. Thinking as quickly as I could, I threw it into neutral to bring the car to a crawl and slowly roll to the next exit and then to a stop. I was lucky to think so quickly because otherwise I could have run into the cars in front of me as the car sped down the highway with no ability to stop. I fear for others that may have this problem because if there was a stop ahead, it could easily end in loss of life. Once safely on the side of the road, I attempted to restart the car, only to have it rocco tongue to rev. After taking it to a Ford dealership, I was told that my throttle electronics had malfunctioned causing the throttle to get stuck open. This is an extremely dangerous problem. Ford's handling of it, which was to say that they couldn't do anything about it is unacceptable.
