My wife’s 2013 C-Max accelerated on its own yesterday while she was driving to work. She had to constantly apply brake pedal to get the car to slow down and stop. Our neighborhood speed limit is 20 and she said her car took off like a missile when she put it in drive. She said the car got up to over 35 mph during the ordeal and it felt like it could go faster. She even made sure her shoe wasn’t accidentally pushing on the gas pedal when she was braking. Filed a report with the NHTSA and will make an appointment with Ford about the issue.
