DRIVING ON FREEWAY AND STARTED TO SLOW DOWN...MOVED FOOT OFF GAS PEDAL TO SLOW (WAS GOING ABOUT 50 MPH AT THE TIME AND ABOUT 65 MPH BEFORE GETTING ANY BRAKES TO WORK) AND IT KEPT GOING DOWN AND STUCK ON HIGH EXCELERATION...WENT TO PUT ON BRAKES AND BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT PUSH DOWN, BARELY HAD ANY BRAKES. FORD SERVICE SAID RECALL THIS MORNING ON ACCELERATOR STICKING...BUT BRAKES WERE MY PROBLEM..I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH BRAKES PRIOR TO THIS. AT 33000 MILES, GRANTED THERE IS WEAR BUT I HAD EXPERIENCED NONE..SO STUCK PAYING FOR COMPLETE REPLACEMENT..SAID THEY WERE SHOT AND UNSAFE....ALL I CAN SAY IS I WAS EXTREMLY FORTUNATE TO GET UNDER CONTROL AND NO ACCIDENT. AND FORD SHOULD ACCEPT SOME OF THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BRAKES . *AK

STOPPED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION HIGHWAY AT TRAFFIC LIGHT,TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED GREEN FOR ME TO PROCEED MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEUTRAL, SHIFT SELECTOR WAS IN DRIVE POSITION DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL RAISED ENGINE RPM WITH NO VEHICLE MOVEMENT. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN THE PARK POSITION THAN BACK INTO DRIVE STILL NO FORWARD MOVEMENT. I PUT THE VEHICLE BACK IN PARK TURNED IGNITION OFF,RESTARTED CAR MOVED SELECTOR BACK INTO DRIVE AND DROVE OFF ?? WENT TO MY FORD DEALER EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM ,THEY RAN CHECKS SCANNED CODES CAME UP NO CODE FAULTS. I WAS TOLD TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM COMES BACK. 786 MILES ON ODOMETER NO RE OCCURRENCE. VERY CONCERNING TO ME WHEN WILL THIS HAPPEN AGAIN! GOING THRU THE ABOVE PROCEDURE LUCKY I WASN'T HIT FROM BEHIND BY A CAR OR TRUCK. *TR
