Another car pulled out in front of me and I had to slam on my brakes. When I tried to accelerate, my car suddenly sped up tremendously and I was barely able to stop the car using the brakes (the engine reved past 4 rpm!) I immediately put the car in park and turned it off. I tried to restart the car and it did the same thing (past 4 rpm!) the car had to be towed to the car dealership. Even though there has been a recall for this exact issue. . . They said they will not honor it!!! although I was irritated that someone cut me off and almost caused a wreck, I look at it as a blessing in disguise. I was seconds away from getting onto 610 in houston rush hour traffic. Can you imagine if that cable had snapped then and me car accelerated to a high rate of speed and I would be unable to stop?!?!.
The transmission is leaking and apparently lots of Ford Taurus have the same issues with faulty transmission.
