My mother had a horrifying experience and a accident while driving my 2000 Ford Taurus. As she was putting car in drive, when leaving restaurant the car suddenly went out of control and sped up on its own and even while she had her foot on the brake all the way to floor car would not stop, the accelerator was stuck and she was terrified as she was heading head on to the restaurants brick building where she ended up crashing into and people inside restaurant said they were hurt as well as my car got badly damaged and the building. My mother and the people inside are lucky to be alive because of this problem with the gas pedal and brakes this could have been a deadly accident. My mother is bruised and still very sore from the accident and the impact was so hard when she crashed into the brick building that both front air bags failed to deploy. Please someone needs to look into this because this I understand that this has happen to others who own 2000 Ford Taurus. I called Ford and they said they had a recall on this vehicle in 2002 and the problem was corrected but here it is 2009 and it has happened again so something isn't right with these cars and it shouldn't have to take someone to die before Ford realizes that this problem is still happening and they need to do something about this. There are several complaints about this same problem. And if Ford said they corrected the problem in 2002 then why is it still happening??????????? please do something before its to late. I was really upset after reading all the complaints about 2000 Ford Taurus owners who are having the same problem with there car and this was after the 2002 recall when Ford claim they fixed it. I wish I knew this before I brought the car or even let my mother drive it because I would never have put her life or others in jeopardy like that. Tow truck had to pull my car from building and then it had to be towed away.
