Consumer Description

STARTING AROUND MARCH 2011, MY 2007 FORD 500 WOULD LURCH WHEN I MOVED IT FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR FROM PARK TO DRIVE. IT SEEMED TO GET WORSE WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY "CLEANED" THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS DID NOT REALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. SINCE THEN, THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE. IT NOW LURCHES WHEN I AM SITTING STILL. IF THE BRAKE IS NOT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, IT WILL LURCH SEVERAL INCHES. I HAVE ALMOST HAD SEVERAL WRECKS BECAUSE OF THIS. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR. IT NOW HAS 95,000 MILES ON IT BUT IS NOT PAID OFF YET. I WAS QUOTED $800 TO FIX THE THROTTLE BODY. I FEEL LIKE WITH THE EXTENT OF THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS PART, FORD SHOULD RECALL THIS PRODUCT ON ALL OF THESE VEHICLES. *JS
