Problem for Ford 2005 Taurus

My car is idling entirely too fast. It drives

My car is idling entirely too fast. It drives itself and actually gets up to about 55 mph on it's own. I try to put it in park and the RPM's go up to 5-6. It happened before and they replaced the cruise control wire. It's scary. I can't believe this hasn't been recalled yet. If this has happened to me twice in one year, I can only imagine that others are having the same issue. Any advice???

You may have a large vacuum leak. To check for this spray some WD-40 or a similar product around the upper part of the engine with it running and listen for changes in the engine's speed. If you hear the idle rise or fall concentrate the spray on that area until you are able to locate the leak. Thank you, Dana P.S. Check carefully at the PCV valve line.
