MY WIFE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A RED LIGHT IN THE LEFT TURN LANE. SHE IS DRIVING A FORD F150 TRUCK, WITH LESS THAN 6,000 MILES. WHILE WAITING AT THE LIGHT, THE ENGINE BEGAN ACCELERATING UNEXPECTEDLY. SHE HAD HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THIS INITIALLY HELD THE VEHICLE IN PLACE. THE ACCELERATION CONTINUED TO INCREASE AND SHE PRESSED HARDER ON THE BRAKE PETAL, IN AN EFFORT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING FORWARD. THE VEHICLE'S ACCELERATION INCREASED AND THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD, STRIKING THE STOPPED VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER. NO ONE WAS HURT AND I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE TECH AT THE DEALERSHIP, TOLD ME THAT IT COULD BE A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE DAY BEFORE, I WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK AND WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, I THOUGHT I HEARD THE ENGINE RUNNING IN A LOUD OR ROUGH MANNER. I TURNED THE RADIO OFF AND LISTENED INTENTLY. I CHECK THE GAUGES AND THEY WERE FIND. THE LIGHT CHANGED AND I DROVE FORWARD AND THE FUNNY NOISE WENT AWAY. COULD THIS HAVE BEEN AN INDICATION OF BAD THINGS TO COME? FINALLY, I FOUND A SIMILAR INCIDENT ON THE NHTSA COMPLAINT SITE, DATED SEPTEMBER 8, 2005. THE INCIDENT ON THAT DATE IS ALMOST EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY WIFE. *NM
