Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford escape. The contact stated that while slowly moving forward, the vehicle suddenly accelerated without warning as the brake pedal was being depressed. The contact crashed into a house. The front and knee air bags deployed. The contact suffered injuries to the left leg, knee and chest. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was not inspected to determine the cause of the failure, nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.
When I'm running in normal speed sometime the acceleration is not working just like lost compression, then it's coming back in few of seconds..
