2005 Ford Explorer VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD EXPLORER. WHEN STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR THERE IS A DELAYED THROTTLE RESPONSE OF 3-5 SECONDS BEFORE ONE FEELS ANY ACCELERATION. THE CONTACT NOTICED THIS AFTER HE BOUGHT THE CAR IN 8-05. HE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY AGREED WITH HIM. THEY TEST DROVE ANOTHER 2005 FORD EXPLORER AND IT DID THE SAME THING. THE DEALER CALLED FORD, AND FORD SAID THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS, AND THEY ALLOWED THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT BEFORE IT ACCELERATED. THEY WILL NOT ALLOW THE DEALERSHIP TO CHANGE THIS. IT HAPPENED WHETHER THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON OR OFF. IT HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED.*AK *NM

WHILE TURNING AROUND IN A LARGE DRIVEWAY AT LOW SPEEDS, MY 2005 FORD EXPLORER SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED CAUSING IT TO RUN INTO A FENCE CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE (MINOR) ALSO RIPPING OFF THE RUNNING BOARD AFTER RUNNING OVER A LARGE LOG. THIS CAR HAS ALSO FAILED TO START AT TIMES AND ONCE THE ENGINE DIED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. *NM

HIT BRAKES AND ENGINE ACCELERATES. THE CAUSE IS THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL AND GAS PEDAL ARE TO CLOSE TOGETHER AND SAME DISTANCE FROM FLOORBOARD. I WEAR A SIZE 14 SHOE AND WHEN I NORMALLY HIT BRAKE, MY HEEL STAYS IN PLACE AND MY FOOT ALSO COVERS THE GAS WHEN I PRESS REAL HARD. I OWN OTHER VEHICLES AND THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN.

DT: CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. THE SERVICE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK *NM

CAR RPMS INCREASED WHILE STEPPING ON THE BRAKES
