I was completely stopped at a red light with my foot on the brake. The car suddenly lurched on it's own. My reaction was to apply both feet to the brake with force. In spite of that, the vehicle continued to crawl and it rolled into the intersection. I was hit by an oncoming car. My car was totaled.
Tl-the contact owns a 2005 Lincoln Ls. While driving various speeds, the contact approached a traffic stop signal and when the brake pedal was depressed the vehicle suddenly surged without warning. The gear lever was shifted into park in order for the vehicle to stop. The failure progressed over a period of time and became a permanent occurrence. Currently, the vehicle was being diagnosed by an authorized dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000. Js.
When car accelerate, the care goes into an etc fail safe mode and shuts down. This almost caused an accident on two occasions. The dealership knows it is an issue, but says I will have to fix.
The car will suddenly surge or die out while driving. Can occur at any time while driving, did it to me multiple times, whether in idle or on the highway going 50+mph. I am trying to get the part replaced from the dealer. The part is on backorder, seemingly there is a large number of these going bad and not enough new ones to go around. The part the dealer is telling me went bad is the throttle body.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) last night my 2005 Lincoln Ls had runaway acceleration when I put it into reverse. I couldn't get it stopped until I was out of the driveway and halfway into the street. I almost hit a tree. I know that if I take it into Lincoln, they will deny any issue. [xxx].
On July 4, 2009 while traveling on a major highway driving at the speed of 60 mph the acceleration stopped functioning without warning. This was the first time this issue ever occurred. To correct the problem the car was taken to a Ford dealership to repair the problem. I was told that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The throttle body was replaced and while leaving the dealership on another major highway the issue happened 3 times after the repair was said to be completed. Both times the issue occurred my family and I was in a near fatal accident. The car was returned to the dealership on that same day. After a day of diagnostic the dealership could not explain to me what was causing the problem. Finally, the dealership called and stated that a radio frequency was causing the problem. I was also told that the there was a problem with the coils. At this point I don't think the certified technicians or the dealership know how to repair the issue. I do know that the service manager want me to keep paying money until they stumble upon a solution. I refuse to put my family on the highway a third time with this ongoing issue. Maybe next time we won't be so lucky.
The contact stated the check engine light and other lights illuminated. The vehicle would not accelerate over 40 mph. The mechanic reset the warning lights. But was unable to diagnose the cause of the problem. The warning lights illuminated again. This time the vehicle would not accelerate over 30 mph. .
