Consumer Description

THE ENGINE HAS BEGUN SURGING, PARTICULARLY AT LOW SPEEDS. HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN IT IS VERY HOT OUTSIDE THE A/C IS ON AND THE CAR IS IN REVERSE. THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY SURGE AND I HAVE TO JAM ON THE BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACES AND ONCE NOW AT A STOP LIGHT AS I WAS SLOWING TO A STOP. I'VE FOUND MANY REFERENCES TO THIS PROBLEM ONLINE THAT THE THROTTLE BODY IS THE PROBLEM AND HAS TO BE CLEANED. FORD NEEDS TO ALERT OWNERS OF THIS ISSUE AND INITIATE A PLAN TO REMEDY IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR
