On the ventura freeway in heavy traffic on Nov 6,2008. Driving at about 30 miles per hour, traffic made it necessary to stop. The car, as it has done before, had unintended acceleration. This was about the fifth or sixth time it has happened in one year of my owning the car. The other times it happened, I had brought it back to the dealer and they replaced transmission parts the first time but thereafter could not determine the problem in fact they had given me a type of computer to attach while I was driving so that if it did happen it would record some facts that would help them determine the cause. This computer stayed on for about two weeks a couple of months ago but it did not happen at that time. The week before Nov 6, 2008, the computer, was again put on my car. So now I was standing on the brake in the middle lane of heavy traffic with the car surging ahead with unintended acceleration. It happened again when I got off the freeway and the same unintended acceleration which could have caused terrible destruction of life and or property had to be constrained by me standing on the brake and pressing a button on the computer to register the effect. This Town Car is extraordinarily dangerous, I have had it back many times for the same problem, and I do believe it cannot be repaired and should not be driven, as to the pain and suffering it may very well be responsible for if it cannot be stopped.

Unintended acceleration. It happened about 6 times in 4000 miles. Transmission overhaul one time, next time dealer could not find any thing wrong,however it happened two days later and I will bring it back to dealer for the third time about the same problem. Whoever experiences this difficulty don't accept anyone telling you the accelerator was being pushed or the carpet was sticking. I have driven probably more than a million miles I know unintended acceleration. Period.
