Car engages in unintended acceleration at idle. Intermittent. Approximately every four days. No identifiable causation. (foot was not on the accelerator at time of incident. ).
I was stopped and entering a turn. There was no ice on the pavement. As I turned left the car accelerated and the brakes became unresponsive. The car spun and hit a fire hydrant. This car at other times as suddenly accelerated, but I was always able to apply the brakes and it calmed down in a few seconds.
Complaint was that the a/c fan fluctuates speed under automatic controls, on 9/12/08 Ford zone rep deemed that the system was operating within normal characteristics. The dealer admits to me that they have several complaints of the same problem & that Ford has not come up w/a fix. I have a record of my concerns direct to Ford & they advised me that if they found a fix for the problem they would do a recall.
