Car Accelerates On Its Own Problems of Ford Thunderbird

As I was parking my car, it suddenly accelerated at a very high rate of speed. I was parking by a wooded area, and was propelled about 2 car lengths into the bushes in the woods (barely missing a tree) before I was able to stop the car. Not certain if the car stopped because of my braking, or because the thick bushes would not permit the car to travel any further. I had the car towed to the Ford dealership, but the service dept. Has not been able to find the problem. I am absolutely certain this was not a "driver error" situation and am very concerned about continuing to drive this vehicle should this occur again and I hit someone or something less forgiving than the bushes in the woods.

I have a 2004 Ford Thunderbird that has suddenly accelerated 3 times over the course of 2005. This happened once forward and twice in reverse. On all 3 occasions I had to stand on the brake while shifting to neutral before the revs would come down. The forward one was the most scary since I had a car in front of me. I took the car to the dealer on Nov 11, 2005 but nothing was found. Thank you tim shipley.
