What owners wrote
Problem started about 4 months after purchase. Long crank time, if not cranked longer than 2 seconds, will not start right away. Only when vehicle`s been sitting for 6 or more hours. I've taken to the garage overnight 4 times, but they keep saying nothings wrong. I didn't have this problem when I first bought this car. Starter, alternator, spark plugs, and wires, and all fuses still good. Will my car be ok? With winter coming, I don`t want to be stranded.
I was driving and started to break coming up to a red light. The car did slow down but I could feel from my foot on the break pedal, a vibration and the car engine started making a rumbling sound, like it was "revving" in high gear. I took my foot slightly off the break and the car accelerated forward on its own. I pulled into a parking lot and was able to park and take out the keys. It was towed to a ford dealership. They said the speed control cable is broken.
