Replying to: diloa (Mar 20, 2008 9:59 pm) If I were you I would sell the LS and get a toyota but I am not you so I probably would not do that but if I had a 1992 Camry that ran like a dream I might just keep it and cut the top off the ls and plant flowers in it but that would be pretty silly so maybe you should have a heart to heart talk with the Lincoln dealer service manager and point out that they have not fixed the problem and dont they guarantee their work most dealers try to satisfy good customers and I find it incredible that anyone would spend $3800 chasing a problem that sounds simple enough for a good tech to diagnose Replies to this message: jeyhoe (Mar 21, 2008 9:39 am) akirby (Mar 21, 2008 12:46 pm)

#30 of 32 acceleration problem Lincoln MKZ by jron1 Jul 09, 2008 (5:52 am)
My wife pulled into a diagonal parking space and as she came to a stop, the car suddenly surged forward went over the curbing and the sidewalk and hit the wall of a commercial building. I have heard of these type acceleration problems with other makes. Any info on this car? It is a 2007 year model. Replies to this message: akirby (Jul 09, 2008 6:25 am) jron1 (Jul 26, 2008 7:49 am)

Replying to: jron1 (Jul 09, 2008 5:52 am) Sorry, but all credible information related to unintended acceleration points to driver error - hitting the accelerator instead of or in addition to the brake pedal. If the driver's foot was really on the brake, then it should have stopped the car even if the throttle was wide open. Try it yourself - put the car in gear, hold the brake and nail the gas pedal - it won't move.   Have the brakes checked, and also make sure the floor mat wasn't in the way. Otherwise it was simply driver error. Replies to this message: jron1 (Jul 26, 2008 7:49 am)

Replying to: akirby (Jul 09, 2008 6:25 am) This was a diagonal parking space on a one way narrow street. When she pulled into thespot and tires rested on the curb, she removed her foot from the brake. This is when the car accelerated quickly, jumped the curb and hit a building.   As soon as the dealer body shop repairs the car, they are sending it to a Lincoln testing center to check this out.
