The contact owns a 2006 Ford Crown Victoria. The contact stated that the vehicle revved up to 5,000 rpms when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The failure occurred randomly. In addition, the rear wheels spun while the vehicle was idling at a traffic light. The vehicle was held by the dealer for three months and the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer instructed the dealer to replace the sensor in the throttle body control, but the repair did not remedy the failure. The contact stated that the only thing that stopped the failure was by placing the vehicle in neutral and continuously attempting to turn the ignition off. The failure mileage was 82,000.
