What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford expedition. After the vehicle was started and the accelerator pedal was depressed, the contact experienced unintended acceleration even after the contact depressed the brake pedal. As a result, the contact crashed into a pine tree. The vehicle remained at full acceleration until it was de-powered manually. There were no injuries and a police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, but the diagnostic results had not yet been determined.
I was accelerating, turning left to enter a freeway on ramp. My speed was reduced to 1MPH and I was unable to accelerate or control the car. When I pushed on the accelerator nothing happened it did not rev the engine. A pop up appeared with a wrench and the words "see owners manual" I was able to turn off the car and turn it back on. This allowed me to regain function. This happened with no warning at all. There is no check engine light or engine codes. This is extremely dangerous!
