On Tuesday 10/3/2017 around 5:35 pm we were driving the 2013 Mkx on callaghan road under construction and stopped behind another car waiting for the one lane traffic to move forward when the Mkx unexpectedly revved up and lunged towards the rear of the car in front of us. We immediately recognized this as sua sudden unintended acceleration. The driver had to apply additional pressure on the brakes to hold the car back.

Unintended accelerator first happened approximately 18 months ago. I took my vehicle to a Ford dealer to have a brake recall done and told them that I went to stop at a red light and something made the accelerator stick forcing me to jump a curb and run at a high speed through an empty lot in front of our library and then back over another curb and out onto another road. I put both feet on the brake and kept pushing; it finally stopped. The service department told me they did a diagnostic test on the car and they could not find nothing wrong with it. On July 18, 2016 I was pulling into a parking spot and as I took my foot off the accelerator to brake again my vehicle accelerated by itself forcing the car to jump the curb and plow into a 4-foot hedge. The car stopped on top of the hedges. I am attaching a picture. Had the car not been stopped by the hedge ¿ there was an eight lane road in front of my car and I dare not think about what would have happened had the car gone straight into traffic. I do not know what component or system created this unsafe risk.
