Car Accelerates On Its Own Problems of Ford Taurus - part 1

I was approaching a very busy intersection and when I applied my brakes the car actually accelerated. I was able to stop before hitting the vehicle in front of me. I proceeded about a mile down the road and as I was turning into a strip mall the vehicle suddenly accelerated again. This time out of control. I when through the turn and hit a large curb and then ran into the guard rail. I ripped the guard rail off and still proceeded for an additional 150 feet on the grass before the vehicle finally came to a complete stop. It scared the hell out of me.

Twice in the past week my car has accelerated without me stepping on the gas. Both times the engine has revved to 4-5000 rpms and I had to press the brakes extremely hard to get the car to stop. This unintended acceleration has been frightening to say the least. Both events have happened as I slowed to turn. Once to get on a freeway and once to enter a parking lot. The second time it happened, I turned it off for 90 minutes. When I restarted the car the engine revved without my foot on the gas pedal. I see that there was a previous recall for the same issue with the same make/model/year but my car is not included in that recall. Why? thank you for your time.

Issue started all of a sudden, first time the first of September, never had any other issues with my Taurus, acceleration happened two times in the past week, stood up on brake and was able to stop, but car seemed that it wanted to creep down the road, tried tapping gas pedal to see if it would unstick, didn't work. Had to throw in park and cut off ignition. I love my Taurus, but I'm really scared to drive it now. I checked to see if recalls were listed for it, but there wasn't. Service manager at dealership states they were no recalls listed. Seems you can't find cars without some type of issue now. Recalls, recalls, recalls, or matters that are in being investigated, manufacturers don't investigate issues reported by public until there has been a serious injury or death due to safety issue with vehicles.
