On occasion my Ford Explorer 1996 XLT accelerated in speed while driving and I was able to knock it into neutral and then re-shift into gear. About 3 weeks ago,  my SUV  accelerated when I pulled it into a lower speed to run after another SUV that struck and broke my left rear view mirror and kept going. In this instance I was unable to knock the vehicle out of gear and the brakes did not stop my vehicle. It smashed into the back of the running SUV that had stopped with a great force, airbags went off and my front end sustained much damage. I never understood why a vehicle with stuck accelerator couldn't be stopped when reported by others. I do not know even now why I couldn't knock the vehicle out of gear and why the brakes wouldn't stop the vehicle. It was quite a frightening experience.
