LAST FALL I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE ABOUT 45 MILES. WHEN I REACHED THE CITY I WAS VISITING I GOT OFF INTERSTATE AND CAME TO RED LIGHT. VEHICLE ENGINE STARTED REVVING. I HAD TO KEEP FOOT ON BRAKE TO PREVENT REARENDING CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR CONTINUED TO DO THIS WHILE IN TRAFFIC. I GOT HOME OK AND DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM AGAIN UNTIL I DROVE IT ON THE INTERSTATE AGAIN. THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO STOP FOR A MONTH OR TWO UNTIL MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IN DECEMBER 2012 AND HE TRIED TO USE THE CRUISE CONTROL AND IT WOULD NOT WORK. WHEN WE GOT TO THE CITY OFF THE INTERSTATE THE CAR BEGAN THE ACCELERATION AGAIN WHILE IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC. IT HAPPENED ONCE AGAIN TO ME TWO WEEKS AGO AND LAST WEEK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON. THE CAR SEEMS TO DRIVE OK UNTIL WE DRIVE IT AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN SLOW DOWN. I AM AFRAID THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

BEGINNING A FEW MONTHS AGO (NOVEMBER 2012), MY 2006 FORD TAURUS HAS HAD A COUPLE TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE WITHOUT PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDAL. THESE FEW INCIDENTS HAVE CORRESPONDED WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL STOPPING TO WORK. I NOTICE THEM AT LOWER SPEEDS, BUT I CANNOT RULE OUT THE SAME ISSUE AT HIGHER SPEEDS BECAUSE BRAKING IS HARDER AT THESE SPEEDS. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS DECEMBER 31, 2012 AT 9:32 PM. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT 25 MPH. I NOTICED IT WAS HARD TO STOP AND THE RPM'S WERE NOT SLOWING DOWN WHEN I BROKE. I THEN HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. AT THAT MOMENT THE RPMS INCREASED TO 4,000 AND I TURNED THE CAR OFF. I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN IN PARK AND IT DID THE SAME THING. THE THIRD RESTART, IT BEGAN TO INCREASE, BUT WHEN I PUMPED THE PEDAL THE INCREASE STOPPED AND IT RETURNED TO NORMAL IDLE RPM. UPON SEARCHING GOOGLE FOR THIS ISSUE, I SAW MULTIPLE REPORTS ON THE NHTSA'S INVESTIGATION IN MARCH 2012. AS A RESULT, I AM SUBMITTING THIS CLAIM. THE DESCRIPTIONS RESULTING IN THIS INVESTIGATION SOUNDED EXACTLY LIKE MY ISSUE. *TR

AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AS THE TAURUS HIT THE GRAND PRIX. TAURUS ENGINE WAS STILL ON AND THE DRIVER MOVED IT TO THE SIDE OF ROAD AND SHUT OFF. AFTER LEAVING TAURUS FOR A MINUTE TO CHECK FOR CONDITION OF OTHER GRAND PRIX DRIVER, TAURUS DRIVER RETURNED TO TAURUS TO SEE RIGHT REAR SEAT ON FIRE. THE TIRES WERE A YEAR OLD AND THE BRAKES HAD RECENTLY BEEN MAINTAINED BY A LOCAL FORD DEALER. ABOUT 1/4 TANK OF FUEL WAS IN THE TAURUS. THIS MODEL YEAR TAURUS IS A POPULAR USED CAR. *TR

I TRIED MY HARDEST TO BRAKE AND THE CAR WOULDN'T COMPLETELY STOP. THE ENGINE REVVED EVEN HIGHER AND I TURNED OFF THE CAR AS I ALMOST HIT A CURB AT A TURN AND ENDED UP BLOCKING A HOSPITAL ENTRANCE.

Opened Mar 7, 2012 · Closed Oct 22, 2012
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Vehicle Speed Control; Vehicle Speed Control:cables
Preliminary Evaluation (PE)12-005 was opened to investigate allegations of speed control cables detaching from the throttle body and subsequently interfering with the throttle closing fully to the idle position in model year (MY) 2005 and 2006 Ford Taurus vehicles.The speed control cable, throttle body attachment arm (?nail head?) for the speed control cable, cable mounting bracket and cable routing for the MY 2005 and 2006 Ford Taurus are common to all MY 2004 through 2006 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable vehicles equipped with either the 155 HP 3.0L 2-valve Vulcan engine or the 200 HP 3.0L 4-valve Duratec engine (the ?subject vehicles?). Figures 1 and 2 show the throttle body cam and speed control cable installed and a cable interference condition caused by contact between a detached cable and the ?nail head.?Ford?s assessment of the condition in incident vehicles noted that the interference conditions produced tended to be short in duration as the cable end tended to dislodge itself from the throttle body due to vibration, road loads or engine roll in addition to tapping the acceleration pedal.Ford inspected three incident vehicles and measured maximum throttle openings of 5.8% to 14.9%, resulting in engine speeds ranging from 1600 to 2200 rpm with the transmission selector in Drive.A Ford stack-up analysis of the speed control cable length from the attachment bracket to the throttle body indicated a maximum theoretical throttle opening of 16.4% that could result from the alleged defect. Engineers at the NHTSA Vehicle Research and Test Center (VRTC) inspected an incident vehicle to evaluate throttle positions and engine speeds that could result from the alleged defect and performed brake testing of a vehicle with the throttle stuck at the worst case throttle opening that could result from the condition.The VRTC vehicle inspection noted that, depending on the orientation of the detached cable end, the amount of throttle opening that could result from interference by a detached speed control cable end varied from 4.8% to 11.3%.VRTC brake testing of a MY 2006 Taurus with a Vulcan engine and the throttle held open at 16% found that, even with multiple brake applications, sufficient vacuum was available for the brake booster assist and the brake pedal efforts required to stop the vehicle did not increase significantly from normal operating conditions. ODI?s analysis of 100 complaints related to the alleged defect found that drivers were generally able to free the interference condition or safely brake to a stop without incident.Approximately one-third (32) reported that the stuck throttle condition was corrected with no action or by tapping the accelerator pedal while the vehicle was still moving, another third (34) reported braking to a stop with the vehicle in Drive prior to correcting the condition, and the remaining third (34) reported that the driver responded to the incident by shifting to Neutral before stopping the vehicle.One complaint alleged that stuck-throttle type symptoms caused the vehicle to pass partially through a traffic light and into an intersection before stopping, however,ODI was unable to contact the owner to verify the cause or relationship to the alleged defect condition.ODI has not identified any crashes related to the alleged defect. Tables 1 and 2 provide a breakdown of complaints and warranty claims related to the alleged defect by engine and model year.A safety-related defect has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.The closing of this investigation do
