Ranger 3.0L V6

My 2002 Ranger is in the shop. I was driving slowly in a crowded parking lot looking for a parking place. The SUV in front of me stopped. I stepped on the brake. The Ranger accelerated, tires screaming as the brakes fought the acceleration. I hit the SUV a head of me. The SUV pulled forward and the Ranger continued accelerating and hit it again. I turned off the engine. The Ranger was towed to a body shop for almost $2000 worth of damage. I don't know how much damage the SUV suffered. My extended warranty expired 12/31/2006.
This potential problem should have been identified by Ford and a recall notice sent. As soon as the body work is done I will have the Ranger towed to a Ford dealer, since it is too dangerous to drive it until the problem is fixed. Does anyone know what the fix is?
