This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
While making a turn the 2005 Crown Victoria suddenly accelerated, even though the driver had his foot on the brake. There is a possibility the brake and accelerator pedals are too close together, allowing the driver to apply both pedals at once.
During normal braking, on 2 separate occasions, my father and I both experienced unintended acceleration while braking. This was caused by the fact that the accelerator pedal on our rented Ford Crown Victoria is too close to, and at the same level as, the brake pedal, causing both pedals to easily be pressed at the same time. Excessive force on the brake pedal was the only action possible to prevent accidents in both cases.
