This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2005 Ford Crown Victoria. The contact stated that the fuel tank and fuel lines were rusted and leaking. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel tank, fuel lines, and fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 102,178.
While accelerating from a stopped position through a red light, when I reached 40 mph the motor started roaring as if I was pushing the gas peddle in a parked position. The vehicle accelerated over 90 mph. I tried to slow the vehicle by pushing and stomping on the brake peddle. After about 10 stomps the vehicle's motor stopped the roaring and proceeded to slow down. I have had the brakes checked and repaired (there was a hole in my brake line, where the line goes up on the body frame under driver side seat) I still have issues with the engine accelerating on it's own. I have had it checked out, but can not find the problem.
