The contact owns a 2004 Mercury marquis. The contact stated that while driving 20 mph with the brakes engaged, the vehicle suddenly accelerated. The contact stated that in order to stop the vehicle, he had to shift into neutral and shut the engine off. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to have the failure diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 50,000 and the current mileage was 67,000.

Unintended acceleration: last year (Feb 2009) my 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis had an unintended acceleration which I (weight lifter) could barely control and I almost crashed into 2-cars. I also had to have the brakes replaced due to severe braking required to stop the car due to the unintended acceleration I used a reliable mechanic (highly rated by the state of MA) as the local Ford dealer shops are over-priced and unreliable. No diagnostic codes showed-up at the shop after the problem, but I would not have my wife drive this car? the car is well maintained and I had a previous Grand Marquis, so I know the car better than most. Have you heard about this problem and is there a recall? Ford was contacted on Feb 23 2010, via their protal, and indicated that there was no problem or recall, and suggested that I go to their dealer (did not go as I have no need for bs). I informed my local mechanic that the car went into overdrive and I had to drive over the curb (brake to floor to stop it). L burned out the brakes but no one died. There was no diagnostic codes that showed a braking or other electronic problem.

The vehicel accelerated suddenly and the brakes could not stop it. While in a parking lot to put air in the tires the vehicle just took off and crashed into a building. This happened July 30, 2005 the consumer is getting ready to contact Ford.
