Consumer Description

STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, SUDDENLY ENGINE SURGED, RACING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO TAKE OFF. I STAYED ON THE BRAKE, THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK, IT CONTINUED TO SURGE. MOVED IT BACK TO DRIVE AND WITHIN A FEW SECONDS THE SURGING STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ON WITHOUT INCIDENT. MY MECHANIC CHECKED THE VEHICLE OUT WITHOUT FINDING ANYTHING. I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER. THEY WENT OVER IT, TOOK IT OUT ON THE ROAD FOR A TEST, NOTHING SHOWED. MY CONCERN IF IT SHOULD OCCUR WHEN I DIDN'T HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. *TR
