2010 Ford Taurus. Consumer writes in regards to unintended vehicle acceleration. Consumer also states that the brakes and steering wheel would not work. The consumer stated the vehicle accelerated and flew through 5 lanes of traffic,hit a high curb and crashed into a parked car.

Pushed on accelerator to pass. And the car kept accelerating stomp on brake and it still wouldn't slow down. Had to shift to neutral. Engine rpm stayed at about 4500 rpm. Tapped gas pedal with foot a few times before engine rpm returned to normal.

My 2010 has had several drive train issues. The trans has been fixed a few times which took many returns to the dealer before finding the issue. After that at times the car accelerates on it's own from a stop. It's done about 7-9 times. I took it to the dealer where I bought car and they can not duplicate the problem. 3-4 times it took me in to an interchange luckily no one was coming until yesterday. I left a restaurant and moved the car about 20 yards came to a stop and immediately it started to accelerate. I was only less than 10 feet from the road. I felt it starting to accelerate and pushed down harder on the brakes but car surged in to road and collided with another car. I know I'll have a problem with Ford on this. . . Plus my insurance cost will sky rocket as well. I need help!!.

When the brake pedal was depressed, the brakes failed without warning numerous times. The vehicle was driven to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the tat eco and braking systems failed. The contact stated that the brakes were replaced three times within one year; however, the failures recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 86,000.

While driving on the expressway near dearborn, mi, my 2010 Ford Taurus began to increase in speed on its on. The last time I looked at it before I crashed, the odometer was at about 80 miles per hour. I could not stop the car by pressing on the brakes. I was getting close to other cares, so I turned to the right to avoid a collision with another car, so I hit the guard rail and the car rolled over. Thankfully, I was not hurt and no one else was either. My car, of course, was totalled and based on michigan law, I also received a ticket.

I was driving my vehicle on the interstate when it started surgeon. Then the next day when I was driving it in town started driving erratically and I thought it was going to die. I talked to Ford about it and they said that the escape and the fusion were both recalled for the same issue. The throttle body it's the issue.

This is the second occasion in two weeks. One surge occurred from a full stop and the abs brakes didn't stop the vehicle before bumper impact. Second accident was when I was traveling 20-30 mph and went to stop and the car surge with the abs foot pedal pressed as hard as possible. The abs brakes made a noise 3 times before impact to rear bumper / spare tire. In addition I have complained to my dealership the last 3 service visits that the right side of the front brakes make a grinding noise sporadically when braking. I have also experienced loss of power while on a highway (very scary).
