Reported on Sept 15, 2013
| WHILE ENTERING I-275 AFTER A FOOTBALL GAME, I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, AND THE ACCELERATION WAS NONE EXISTENT. I WAS NEARLY RUN OFF THE ROAD BY ANOTHER DRIVER. THE ACCELERATION FINALLY KICKED BACK IN AFTER APPROXIMATELY 5-7 SECONDS. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPROGRAMMED BY FORD. SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER THE INITIAL OCCURRENCE, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN AND I WAS NEARLY T-BONED BY A SEMI AFTER IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS, THE ACCELERATION KICKED IN AND I NEARLY PLOWED OVER A PEDESTRIAN. FORD SEEMS TO BE OBLIVIOUS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. | |
