OUR CONCRETE DRIVE IS AT A SMALL INCLINE-I WENT TO PUT CAR IN OUR GARAGE -I HAD OVERHEAD GARAGE DOOR OPEN-I STARTED CAR AND THE WHEELS SQUEALED LEAVING TIRE MARKS ON CONCRETE AS IT JUMPED FORWARD-WHEN I HIT BRAKE PEDAL IT ACCELERATED MORE. THIS WAS ONE OF ABOUT 7 CASES WHERE CAR FOR NO REASON ACCELERATED AND JUMPED FORWARD WITHOUT ANY WARNING-WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE TIRES ALWAYS SQUEAL LEAVING TIRE MARKS ON SURFACE. IN OCT. 2012 I WAS AT A 4 WAY STOP LIGHT-LIGHT WAS RED AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING CAR JUMPED FORWARD AND 2 CARS HAD TO TAKE ACTION TO MISS MY CAR AS IT RAN THROUGH THE STOP LIGHT-OTHER CARS WERE BLOWING THEIR HORNS-THANK GOD WE DID NOT CRASH. THIS CONDITION IS EXTREMELY SERIOUS I HAVE REPORTED THESE CASES TO KRENZEN WHERE I BOUGHT CAR BUT THEY CLAIM THERE WAS NEVER A CASE REPORTED SUCH AS THIS. I ASKED THEM TO MAKE A REPORT ON IT. I FIND MANY CASES ON THE INTERNET LIKE MY CASE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 LINCOLN TOWN CAR, SIGNATURE SERIES, THAT ON THE SAME DAY ON TWO OCCASIONS WHILE GOING SLOW AND LIGHTLY BRAKING THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. MY FOOT WAS NOT ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THE GAS PEDAL. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE AND NOT IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. I WENT UP ON THE NET AND FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAD REPORTED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THAT EXACT YEAR AND MODEL LINCOLN. A NUMBER OF WHICH WENT TO THEIR LOCAL FORD DEALER ONLY TO FIND THEM TO SAY WE CHECKED IT OUT THOROUGHLY AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I EXPECT THIS COULD VERY WELL HAPPEN AGAIN AND CREATE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I JUST WANT TO GO ON RECORD AS HAVING REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TO AS MANY PLACES AS POSSIBLE SO THAT IN THE EVENT IT CAUSES AN ACCIDENT IN THE FUTURE I HAVE SOME RECOURSE IF THEY SAY IT WAS ONLY DRIVERS ERROR. I MAY SEND THIS TO NTSB, CONSUMERS GUIDE, AND INSURANCE SAFETY BOARD AND OTHERS IN HOPES OF GETTING SOME ANSWER OTHER THAN , COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. THANK YOU *TR
