Default "SUDDEN ACCELERATION" 'aint going away........

Until it happensd to you, you can't really express an opinion.
When Ford gets around to a recall or a tsb, all you know-it-alls will be
singing a different tune.

My 2006 Ford GT Mustang with A/T took off all by itself, full throttle,
wide open. It all happened in about 8 seconds, the car travelled exactly
331 feet before it came to a stop (hit the garage.)

I know exactly where my feet were, on the brake (not on the gas, no
carpet interference, no mats to get entangled). And I'm not a nitwit. I
built and dragged in my teens, switched to road racing Jaguars in my
late twenties. I have driven everything with wheels. From Sprites to a
Euclid. I'm a professional driver, with a "Class A CDL"........

Search out "sudden acceleration" "unintended acceleration"
"unanticipated acceleration" and start living in the real world.
