general problems of the 2013 Ford Taurus

Purchased vehicle on 10/06/2022. Within a week noticed surging and /or loss of power. I also smelled buring of some sort. Contacted the dealership and tried to make arrangements for car to be diagnosed and repaired. Codes began to show on the dash. When I took it to be read it showed throttle issues. On 10/18/2022 I was at a complete stop at a stop sign. When I released the brake and touched the gas the car unexpectedly sured at high speed on its own. My vehicle hit another vehicle causing major damage to both cars. It was extremely terrifying having my car take off at a high rate of speed without me in control. This now has caused tremendous hardship financially, emotionally and I now have legal issues due to this accident that was no fault of my own.

Our 2013, 6 cyl Ford Taurus limited awd has been driven 67,004 fairly trouble-free miles needing only ordinary maintenance. The only notable repair was the replacement of a failed fuel pump control module about seven months ago. On the evening of January 20th, 2019, my wife and I were returning home after completing a 40-minute drive. We briefly stopped, waiting for our garage door to open completely and proceeded normally up our driveway, which is on about a 10-degree incline. As we approached the level floor of our garage, the motor rapidly revved up, lunging the vehicle forward. Luckily, the brakes held the car back, while the engine raced loudly and very fast. The process of this sudden and briefly continuous acceleration happened without any pressure on, or obstruction of the gas pedal. The engine briefly went into even a higher and louder rpm state after I quickly shifted the transmission into neutral, while applying strong pressure to the brake pedal. Luckily the car was stopped safely, but it left my wife and me quite distressed and concerned. We made an appointment for our mechanic to investigate this mysterious issue. If I were to speculate on the cause of this problem based on my experience, I would venture a guess that perhaps something may not be right with the process that is designed to detect and prevent engine stalling. It seems to me, that when our car coasted up to the garage at the end of our driveway, the engine slowed down to a near stall and then revved up intensely on its own, giving me and my wife quite a scare.

I have 2013 Ford Taurus at sam galloway Ford in fort myers florida, they called me and said my e. T. B electronic throttle body needs to be repaired/replaced and it will cost $750 out the door. I started doing some research for cheaper cost and I came across other Fords with this same problem that was recalled, made a few calls to Ford and they said my VIN number doesn't qualify my car for that recall. This is a very dangerous problem, the car will lose throttle in the middle of traffic. This seems to me a issue and problem with a number of Fords vehicles and just because mine doesn't fall under the VIN, it's still a Ford and the etb is a problem for Ford vehicles. Please make this a recall! etb is a problem that needs to be fixed for any Ford that it happens to! this has happened several times to me since I had the car and it's only been a two months. To dangerous to be on the streets to drive and needs to be fixed!.
