Consumer Description

VEHICLE WILL SURGE FORWARD WHILE AT A FULL STOP OR WHILE BRAKING/DECELERATING WITH NO WARNING. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN A/C IS RUNNING ON FULL FAN. WRENCH LIGHT WILL GO ON WHEN IT OCCURS AND CAR WILL RUN VERY SLUGGISH UNTIL CAR IS TURNED OFF. AT RESTART, (IF AIR IS OFF) WRENCH LIGHT IS OFF AND CAR RUNS OK. FORD SERVICE DEPT IN 2007 AND 2008 SAID IF THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM, CAN'T HELP. THIS IS THE THIRD SUMMER IT HAS OCCURRED AND IS OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY. FINALLY BROUGHT IT TO SERVICE DEPT FOR REPAIR. THEY SAID THEY HADN'T HEARD ABOUT THIS ALTHOUGH I AM FINDING SEVERAL REPORTS OF EXACT SAME ISSUE ONLINE AND AT NHTSA. THEY REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE AND A "COMPUTER" PART. *TR
