I was on the interstate going about 70. I put on the cruise control but it wouldn't engage. I tried several times then gave up. Not 5 minutes later I tried to go slower, about 65, and the car sped up to 70 on its own. I was confused because the cruise control light was not lit, whereas it was lit when it wouldn't work. I pressed the off button many times but it kept trying to accelerate. My friend was trying to make me pull over but I was scared because the engine was racing and it seemed like the brakes were sluggish. I finally stopped on the shoulder & turned off the car. I was freaking scared because I was in the middle of nowhere. When I turned the car back on it immediately began to race, way up over the 3000 rpms. When I put it into drive it lurched forward. We had to get somewhere, so my friend started driving. I was shaking. It unstuck by itself but continued to do it several times. And I never touched the cruise control again. It does it going 30mph, 60mph, whenever it feels like. I don't have money to fix this & this car has only 50,000 miles on it! I'm scared it's going to do it & the brakes fail when I try to slow down.

I purchased a new 2004 Taurus wagon with abs and optional traction control in March,2004. I have had three instances wherein at low speed (5-10 mph) and on either wet road , gravel or other rough surface, and on attempt to brake, I have experienced brake failure and/or the engine simultaneously accelerates. I have had to place the car in neutral to overcome the forward surge. On one occasion I failed to stop at a stop sign. I had presented the vehicle to the dealer in April, 2004. At that time the dealer (smith cairns Ford,yonkers,NY) claimed the brake rotors were uneven.
