THIS IS THE START OF A NITE MARE. THE THROTTLE WENT WIDE OPEN, FROM 60 I GO TO 75 -80 I HAD TO PASS THE 2 CARS AHEAD IN TOWN OR REAR END THEM. I HAD BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE AN THE TRANSMISSION KEPT DOWNSHIFTING GIVING IT MORE POWER. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN NO BRAKES, NO STEERING, NO LIGHTS. I WAS PREPARED TO HIT WOODS OR BUILDING TO DODGE THE CARS ON STREET, HAD A FULL 90 DEGREE RT TURN TO MAKE AN CROSS A RR TRACK, NEEDING BRAKES AND LIGHTS I TURNED IGNITION ON , FULL THROTTLE AGAIN, TURNED IGNITION BACK OFF AND STEERED UNDER A SERVICE STATIONS CANOPY AND BACK OUT ON THE STREET AND ACROSS JUMPED THE CURB AND INTO A GOD SENT VACANT LOT, GRASSY, WET AND SOFT. IT STOPPED. AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND TAKING MY NITROGLYCERIN ,I STOPPED SHAKING ENOUGH TO START THE ENGINE, IT IDLED. I LOCKED IT AND LEFT A NOTE ON THE WINDSHIELD TO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WILL KILL YOU, WILL RUN AWAY FULL SPEED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

1 complaint

ON APPROXIMATELY 8/25/2010, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN ELECTRICALLY. IT COULDN'T BE STARTED BY AAA. IT WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THEY FOUND A BURNED WIRE THAT WENT FROM THE FUSE BOX TO A JUNCTION BOX. HE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS AN ENGINEERING DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE AS THE WIRE IS TOO CLOSE TO THE BRAKES AND WHEN IT GETS HOT THE WIRE BURNS OUT. HE ALSO SAID THAT THE VEHICLE CAN EVENTUALLY GO ON FIRE. IT WAS REPAIRED AND THEN ON 9/25/2011 THE SAME THING OCCURRED. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AMERICAN FORD ON RT 17 SOUTH IN PARAMUS NEW JERSEY. THEY FOUND AGAIN A BURNED WIRE FROM THE FUSE BOX. I ASKED THEM NOT TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE UNTIL SOMEONE FROM THE NATIONAL SAFETY BOARD INVESTIGATES THIS VEHICLE. *TR

(DEFECTIVE LOCK/HANDLE) THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN THE DOOR WAS IN A LOCK POSITION AND A PASSENGER TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR. SOMETHING SNAPPED. THEN THE DOOR WAS UNABLE TO OPEN EVEN AFTER THE DOOR IS UNLOCKED. AFTER MY FRIEND DID ME A FAVOR TO FIX IT, THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE PASSENGER DOOR. THE DOOR WAS LOCKED THEN MY COWORKER TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR BEFORE I UNLOCKED IT FROM THE CAR ALARM, THEN A COMPONENT ON THE HANDLE SNAPPED. SO NOW I HAVE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE BACK OR SIDE DOOR. *KB
