general problems of the 2006 Ford Ranger

Runs rough at stop. Hesitates when accelerates. Could cause accident at intersections. Valve recession problem as described in Ford issued TSB.

The first incident occured on 12/15/2011 as I was travelling from savannah, GA. To atlanta, GA. I was getting off my exit to the i675 and slowed down by hitting the brake and the vehicle started to speed up. I was not using the speed control at all as I missed my exit and shut the vehicle off in order to stop. On 12/22/2011 I was coming home to detroit, mi. And had an accident in GA. I was travelling at 35 mph, it was raining heavily and as I proceeded to slow down around a curve I immediately lost control of vehicle as the truck fishtailed into oncoming traffic and I turned my wheel to avoid a collision with 2 vehicles in that lane and ended up in a culvert. I sustained minor injuries but luckily there were no other injuries or deaths as this vehicle was the only one involved. At that time I did not put 2 and 2 together as I thought the road was slippery and I couldn't avoid what had happened. On 12/24/2011, I visited my family in rochester, mi. And went to slow down at a light and the vehicle began speeding up again causing me to go through the light and I turned the engine off because I could not stop the vehicle and I realized the peddle was to the floor. Luckily I was driving this vehicle instead of my sister who actually owns this. This is my first accident since I have gotten my license back in 1968 and it could have been a lot worse. At no time was I using the speed control.
