Driving into parking lot to park and the car accelerated jump 2 curbs and hit a parked vehicle. I would have to have floored the pedal for that to happen. I think something malfunctioned. I did see another similar report dated october of 2017 of the same thing happening and ford had a recent past of acceleration problems. So i'm wondering if it is a malfunction of the car

While driving the ford escape on a main road today the vehicle suddenly started to idle very rough, the orange wrench light came on and i could not accelerate. The car decelerated rapidly as i was going up a slight hill. I was able to coast into a parking lot, where i shut the car off for several minutes, then turned it back on and proceeded home. I have called the ford dealership to bring the car in for service. *tr
