Accelerator Stuck problems of the 2001 Ford Taurus

The accelerator pedal stuck in the full open position as I was driving down a side street. I was able to pull to the side of the road but by the time the car was turned off the transmission had totally fried and all the fluids came out of the engine.

The contact owns a 2001 Ford Taurus. The contact stated that while attempting to accelerate, the accelerator pedal became stuck. The contact mentioned that the vehicle continued to accelerate although he had removed his foot off the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 39,000 and the current mileage was 39,052.

As I was driving along, the gas pedal started to stick I applied the brake and the vehicle slowed down. There was no damage, but scared that one of these days it won't slow down. . . Updated 12/11/12.

I was driving on the freeway 15 south from temecula, CA. I exited mission/fallbrook and proceeded to go up the little incline and my accelerator stuck. I had to take on a curvy road for about 4 miles, until I could find a spot to pull over. I ended up running a red light, after running the light I put the car in neutral and hit my brakes. I finally come to a stop, right before running into the remax building. Someone needs to check into this problem. I did a google search, and found out this is not an isolated incident. I contacted Ford and file an incident report and was told this was the first time they heard of this problem. I told them to do a google search and the information is out there. I had my car towed to rancho Ford. Their diagnosis was the accelerator cord needed repairing. When I spoke to Ford I was asked what do I expect Ford to do for me?
