The car started jerking and slowing down on the highway and would not accelerate. I was able to pull over to the side of the road and had the car towed to a service center. A repair shop did a print out of the error codes from the computer which indicated an error relating to the power steering control module. A search online show that many other Ford flex owners have experienced similar issues.
Was driving down the road when the car seddenly accelerates. I could feel the petal drop out from under my foot. I pressed the brakes and the car spead up when I took my foot off the break. I tried hitting cancel on the cruise control (even though I never set it or mess with it ever) and it would still accelerate when I took my foot off the break. It finally went back to normal after pumping the breaks.
