The events leading up to the failure of my 2006 Ford Taurus just driving normal and after awhile the pedal would get stock and keep the speed plus go to about 60 to 65 mph. From speed of 45 to 55 being drove. It has happened more then 20 times in the past month I 'm in fear that I'm really endangering myself others on the highways and on the roads period. So far it hard to stop the car with the breaks when this happening because the gas is still feeding to the motor. I took it to Ford dealer after I took it to another shop and they could find the problem so I decided to take it to a Ford dealer and found that when test drove it did the same with them, they too and clean the throttle body and disconnected the cruise control saying that's where the malfunction came from. They also but in a new spring behind the pedal. With that being done it still did not fix the issue. They made it clear that they are not sure what's happening I don't understand because we never uses the cruise control in the 4 years that I have had it. The old parts is not available.
