What owners wrote
I was driving a 95 ford explorer south bound on us 95 at approximately 70 MPH, when the vehicle began accelerating on it's own. When I took my foot off the accelerator the vehicle kept accelerating on it's own even with the cruise control off and my foot off the accelerator pedal. I then tried to apply the brakes but since the vehicle was accelerating the explorer just shook. I also double checked the cruise control and it was in fact off and tried to pump the gas to see if the pedal was stuck but neither worked.
Vehicle experienced sudden acceleration while driving at 70 MPH. When this occurred the accelerator pedal went to the floor, and didn't go back up until the truck was stopped and turned off. Cruise control wasn't engaged at the time of the incident. The emergency brake was engaged and service brakes were depressed to stop or slow down the vehicle. Dealership performed several tests, including a diagnostic test, but no problem was found. Vehicle is currently at the dealership.
