(etb) electronic throttle body on my car causes an acceleration that makes the car jerk forward. i've almost hit a wall, and god forbid this happens on the highway i could cause an accident. its unsafe and should be recalled. poor design i guess but it's not worth my life. this happened while idling in drive thru when i tried to go forward it idled really high then dropped down. would bot accelerate afterwards.

Periodically but occuring more often. once the car is placed in drive or reverse but foot still on the brake, once the brake is released the car quickly and aggressively accelerates on it's own without pressing the gas pedal and with very little reaction time you have to slam the brake pedal to make the car stop and then the car cuts off. this has happened at least 4 times within the last month. very dangerous! i have researched recall information for this model as well as my direct vin number associated with my vehicle but i have yet to find a recall. however i have read many reviews of the same issues with other ford 500 owners.

Vehicle surges when you let off the brake. this started shortly after we purchased the car a couple years ago. they either serviced or replaced the throttle body and that worked for about 6 months or so. now the car shakes really bad anytime we have to stop and have to keep foot on the brake really hard, sometimes the car dies during this too as well as going from reverse to drive. as soon as you let off the brake the car accelerates, can make it up to almost 40 mph without even touching the gas. it runs horribly in the heat too. any temp over 70 it jerks into 2 or 3rd gear hard when stopping and going.
