Known Recall Investigations
  • Stuck throttle investigation # PE12005

  • Engine stalling ffv investigation # DP06005

    On october 11, 2006, public citizen petitioned odi to investigate reports of engine stalls caused by e85 fuel in certain model year (my) 2003 - 2005 ford taurus flex-fuel vehicles (ffv). Odis review of the petition and other available data found a low stall rate attributable to e-85 fueling and that the main concerns,prolonged engine start and rough idle during cold engine startup at winter temperatures, were resolved by an engine software update.To ensure that all subject vehicles receive this update, ford initiated a notification campaign to offer free engine computer recalibration.Based on this information, this defect petition is denied. This denial should not be construed as a finding that no safety defect exists.Odi reserves the right to reconsider this issue if future data warrant.Additional details can be found in the federal register notice posted in the dp06-005 public file.

My car will accelerate on its own without me pressing the gas. This happens at least 4 times a week while i am driving and happens when i am driving between 20 and 50 mph. I can make the engine rev/acceleration stop by quickly tapping on the gas pedal. I have had the cruise control disconnected because my mechanic thought this was part of the problem but the random sef-acceleration has continued and seems to be getting more frequent. This has been going on off and on for a few years but has increased in frequency over the past few months.
