    THE CAR WILL NOT DRIVE AT 25MPH WITHOUT BREAKING SINCE THE IDLE WILL RUN AT 1500 RPM OR MORE. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO PULL AS IF IT IS ACCELERATING UNTIL YOU BRAKE TO 0 MPH THEN IDLE SEAMS OK. FORD MUST HAVE A PROBLEM SINCE I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF REPORTS LIKE THIS. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT IF THIS IS WHAT THEIR CARS ARE LIKE.*AK
