Car Stall problems of the 2002 Ford Taurus

1st major incident- on September 12th -traveling at approx 50 mph and when I tried to brake the car would not slow down but stayed or even accelerated its speed. I eventually was able to get control of the car and continued to my destination. My wife called the sandy springs Ford dealership and we made an appointment to drop off the car the next evening for service on Wednesday, August 14th. The Ford rep took down all of my information but never mentioned the recall or the repercussions of driving this car after this reported incident. 2nd incident- on September 13th - traveling approx 50 mph and then all of a sudden I lost complete control of the car and for a few seconds I thought I would not only kill myself but other innocent people on the freeway. I managed to pull the car into an apartment complex parking lot. I called aaa and they delivered the car to the sandy springs Ford dealership. My wife called the customer service the next day - spoke with karen. Why were we not told about the recall (did research on the internet)? her response: they just found out about it that very same day. We just returned from vacation and our neighbor just delivered our mail, well there was a letter from Ford about the recall. Then, on Friday September 16th we received an automated call from sandy springs Ford about the recall. Does Ford have any idea in the act of negligence they have created? there could have been fatalities. Our car is still at the Ford dealership - it is stalling out and the brakes were not the same (charged us to fix them). Ford said the speed control cable was completely broken off and they were required to report it and mail you the part. Was this done? for the life of me, I can not fathom that a car manufacturer would not have alerted their dealers about this recall. I should have been alerted and warned on Monday evening and told do not drive the car.

The contact owns a 2002 Ford Taurus. Each time the contact's foot was removed from the accelerator pedal the vehicle would stall. There were no warning indicators at the time of failure, and the weather and road conditions were not a factor. In order to repair the failure several valves had to be changed. The contact attempted to speak to the dealer, but was unsuccessful. The contact possesses copies of the repair invoices. The failure mileage was 31,000.

The contact stated while driving vehicle stalled intermittently. Also, at a stop light the vehicle lost power. The vehicle was taken to the dealership for inspection. They replaced the air valve assembly. The contact drove the vehicle home. Currently, the problem recurred.

While driving on a major highway my car stalled. The car began to decrease in speed and shake profoundly. There were no warning lights on to indicate the problem with the car. More pressure was applied to the gas pedal and still no increase in speed. After several attempts to accelerate the car increased to 40 mph and then continued to decrease in speed. I pulled off to the side of the highway were my car was struck by another vehicle. After the incident the car did start and accelerated as if nothing ever happened.

While traveling at normal speed and without any indication vehicle stalled. Consumer depressed brakes and tried to turn steering wheel, but vehicle would not respond, resulting in a car crash. Dealer has been notified. Please provide further information.
