From: user777 on 15 Mar 2010 20:41 Scariest thing ever. Happened without warning. I'm glad no one was in front of me. I came to a complete stop and waited for traffic to clear. Suddenly, on a steep uphill incline, the Ford accelerated and would not stop. I had both feet on the brakes. I moved out into the street like this and as I turned the wheel, every thing went back to normal. Engine quit racing I told my boss about his truck almost killing me. He laughed it off. Two weeks later, HE came in sweating and telling his story of the same thing. I looked him in the eye, laughed and said "Oh come on no one believes those kind of stories unless it happens to them." He said, "Oh."

That was most likely a loose motor mount.
