I was drving on the highway going about 65 miles per hour and the car just began to speed up and the peddle left from my foot and I had to put the car in neutral and punch on the peddle to try to stop it from going to 100. This has happened several times even at a 25-35 mph pace. The car will just take off. I am currently not able to drive this car due to my safety. This issue with the transmission that I had to replace is, it would not go into 2nd gear, like if I came to a stop and then tried to acellerate, the car would only go about 5 miles per hour. I could not drive it in the streets because it could not keep up with the traffic so I had to have the transmission replaced and out of pocket almost 3k. At the time the car only had about 25000 miles on it.

While driving down the road in our 2005 Ford Taurus it suddenly sounded as if our car was in neutral. After coasting down a hill and into a parking lot we discover that our car will not go into any gear. We had the car towed and now are going to have to figure out how to pay to replace the transmission.
