I THOUGHT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY GAS PEDAL, HAVE BEEN TAKING IT TO MECHANIC TO FIX IT, NEVER HELPED. AFTER READING THE REPORTS OF THE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEMS BEING EXPERIENCED, I REALIZE THAT WHAT IS BEING REPORTED IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING. TODAY IT HAPPENED WHEN MY 19 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING. HE WAS ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH, AND WHEN HE NEEDED TO EXIT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN.  THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES ON IT'S OWN AT TIMES, AND AT OTHER TIMES THE ACCELERATOR GETS STUCK AS THOUGH THE CRUISE IS SET, EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE NOT SET IT. THUS YOU WISH TO SLOW DOWN, AND YOU ARE STILL STUCK GOING 70 MPH. I HAVE BEEN STUCK IN TRAFFIC JAMS AND HAD IT START TO ACCELERATE, AND HAVE TO KEEP THE BRAKES ON TO SLOW DOWN. IF YOU TRY TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL OR PARK, THE RPMS RACE BADLY. I TOOK IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC TO TRY TO COMPLETELY DISCONNECT THE CRUISE CONTROL LAST FRIDAY (8-31-12) AND IT SEEMED TO HELP FOR A FEW DAYS, BUT NOW TODAY WHEN MY SON HAD THE VEHICLE GET STUCK AT 70, HE LOOKED AND THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE HAD RECONNECTED ON IT'S OWN. WE HAVE NOW REMOVED THE PLASTIC ASSEMBLY COVER TO TRY AND PREVENT THIS FROM RECURRING, AFTER READING SUGGESTIONS FROM OTHERS ONLINE WHO ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. IN READING OTHER DRIVER'S DESCRIPTIONS ONLINE, I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING TO MANY OTHER DRIVERS OF THE 2005 TAURUS. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD, THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT FOR A COMPLETE DIAGNOSTIC. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THE DIAGNOSTIC WAS $98 AND WOULD ONLY DO ME ANY GOOD IF I CAN \"REPLICATE THE PROBLEM\" WHILE IT IS AT THEIR DEALERSHIP. AS THIS PROBLEM OCCURS VERY RANDOMLY, I DON'T SEE HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FURTHER INVESTIGATED BEFORE A TRAGEDY OCCURS. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2005","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"TAURUS","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
