general problems of the 2009 Lincoln MKS

Tss/oss failure. While driving the vehicle on the highway, the vehicle suddenly lost power and I was unable to accelerate. I continued to press the accelerator and the vehicles rpm's increased, but the vehicle began to slow down. Then the transmission slammed into gear and made the vehicle jerk. The engine light, a service advanced trac message appeared, and the wrench light came on. I had the vehicle connected to a computer and gave the p7020 and p0722 fault code.

Accelerator pedal jammed and engine was revving high at 5000 , I have press hard on the brake to slow down to avoid hitting other cars while trying to pull away same way like the previous incident that happens 7 months earlier. I then disengaged the transmission to neutral to be able to cut off the engine , wait for 10 and shake the gas pedal , before I cranked up and continued to go on .

As I was driving the gas pedal got locked as I was approaching a stop sign and the engine was revving high at 5000 rpm . I tried to turn off the engine but it will not respond , so I had to make a sudden right turn onto a less traveled street to avoid hitting other cars . I then disengaged the transmission to neutral to be able to shut the engine off .
