Car Throttle Sticking Problems of Ford Taurus

"takara recall" my throttle has been sticking and not releasing and when I throw it in neutral it idles at 4000rpms and only sometimes will it kick down most of the time it kills the engine when it kicks down even while driving down the road going 45mph.

This happened on 3 separate occasions when slowing to stop for a light or because of traffic. The engine would rev and feel like it was putting out more power than it should. If I had bad brakes, I would definitely have hit someone. I would either shift the car into neutral or park and the rpms would shoot up to 4. I had to pump the gas a few times to get it to return to normal. I took it to a repair shop and they diagnosed it as a faulty idle speed motor that was sticking and causing the throttle to be stuck wide open.

The throttle is sticking and causing the car to accelerate when trying to slow down. The first incident occurred about three weeks ago. At first we noticed when we would slow down for turns the car would want to accelerate. The second incident occurred when my wife tried to come to a stop in the garage and the car tried to take off. The third incident occurred with me driving the car. I went to stop at a stop light and the car did not want to slow down it wanted to accelerate almost causing me to run into the back of another car in front of me. We have found that if you put the car in park the throttle/acceleration will stop.

The throttle began to stick around the beginning of February 2012. The speed of the car averages around 50mph when the acceleration occurs. The distance seems to occur after 10 to 15 miles of travel. When this first began to occur in February 2012 there was one occurrence that the car had to be put in neutral for the accelerator to release. All other times (to date) the accelerator will release when the brake is applied.

The throttle sticks when slowing down to a stop. It suddenly revs up. Must stomp on the brakes and attempt to throw into neutral. Had been able to stop but 2 days ago rear ended a truck. Damage to my car.

The throttle sticks when slowing down to a stop, it suddenly revs up. Must then stomp on the brakes and try to throw it into neutral. Usually can catch it however, 2 days ago ended up rear ending someone. The front end of my car is damaged. Ran into a truck which wasn't damaged.

2005 Ford Taurus - throttle sticks, vehicle will speed up without pushing on the gas. This has occurred numerous times, quite scary regardless of location or speed. This has occurred in town and on the interstate. Vehicle must be put in neutral and the gas peddle must be pushed to the floor to get vehicle back under control.

Throttle sticks and the engine idles as high as 2,500 rpm without applying any pressure to gas, causing the car to increase its speed without touching the gas. Even when applying the brakes, the car is difficult to stop and I must allow additional room to stop because the car is accelerating on its own while I'm applying the brakes. This occurs at random and approximately 1-3 times daily. The severity of the unwarranted acceleration seems to become more obtrusive as the mileage increases. I'm disappointed and frankly shocked that Ford has not issued a recall for this potentially dangerous faulty accelerator, especially considering they have been notified by many other concerned consumes such as myself. Until then, I can only hope the brakes can continue to overpower the accelerator that seems to have a mind of its own.
