Just to get this out of the way I have a 2011 5.0 manual. Bone stock. No major issues with the MT-82.

So I was heading home from Carl's Jr. earlier when I had a case of unintended acceleration. It's a pretty cold night (around 50* or so). As I was coming down an empty street the car just started accelerating like a bat out of H-E-double hockey sticks!!!! The engine started blaring. Sounded crazy! Like a pack of wolves fighting over the last bone. I didn't want the engine to bounce off the limiter so I just kept shifting.

I was at 80 in third when I noticed the stop sign approaching. I was like, "Oh crap! I gotta stop this thing!!" So I looked down to see what was causing the problem. It was my right foot! It was applying pressure to the gas pedal and it wouldn't stop! So I picked up my right foot using my right leg and put it on the brake. I stopped just in time before the stop sign. Phew! Got really lucky.

Should I see my dealer about this?

 

Wow you almost went Toyota on that stop sign.

 

Few more miles and you can do the same in your GT500

After you name her of course

 

What's your car's name? I don' think I remember.

Lemme guess...Kobe

 

No! Lol but when I get my dog I will name him bean after Kobe's middle name

My car's name is Ace. But I mostly call her stang lol

 

Dangit!

I was gonna ask you if you always enjoyed being inside Kobe.

But that doesn't work now does it?

 

Jason after I saw the thread title I was this > < close to texting you that we aren't friends anymore hahahaha

 

Joke ruined! Lol
Bahaha I wanted to troll some n00bs but instead I get u two old farts spoiling the fun. Lol

 

Lol I just block the newbs. They annoy me.

And I was going to say I was older than you, but then I realized your old fart comment made sense, and it made me feel old

 

Lol yeah I meant "old" being on these forums. I remember logging on here seeing threads with 56k warnings in the title lololololol

Only Gary, the other Patrick, and Lee are actually old

 

**** you too!

 

 

I saw the thread title and was like "What numbnut started this one?" Then I saw which one

 

Hey I'm so old I still use an aol email address.

 

at this thread. The most amount of win that Jason has ever had in a thread he started hahaha

 

Hardees>Carl's Jr

 

I just want to make one thread that's good enough to get stickied. *sigh* Someday...someday...
Next time I travel to the mid west or east coast, I'm going to try using a Carl's Jr. coupon at Hardees. It should work

 

Theres a TSB for that: return stang, by a prius

I miss Hardees but Im downright pissed Arby's bought out like the only Roy Rogers in my state. I hate roast beef! Boo!

 

Hah I think one of my threads got stickied, back in 2009 when we were super excited about the 5.0 coming out. Good times. Would be nice to be able to actually a) be out of CC debt and b) buy a new car now, but if my track record is any indication, I probably won't. :lesigh:

 

WOW you are lucky to be alive !!!! I've had this issue many times with my car because it's an automatic.
