Problems with 2007 Ford Freestyle VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

My car randomly surges. this usualy happens at low speeds when the car is at or close to idle. the car will sugre like the gass is being pressed but it is definetly not. it also surges randomly when shifted into different gears park,reverse,neutral. it is very dangerous as it is inpredictable.

My freestyle accelerators/ lunges forward for "no reason" when i'm pushing on brake to park. this has happened numerous times at grocery store, wal-mary etc. last tuesday was the scariest. i was with my mom driving to the bank and as i was parking it accelerated much more than it normally does. we hopped the curb and almost crashed into the bank wall. my foot was on the brake! i have seen several mechanics who have no clue and can't find anything wrong. i went immediately to seen another recommend seasoned mechanic who said he had no idea what it could be and saw nothing wrong. i'm scared to drive my cat or even park it. i only park away from other cars now. if someone would have been in front of my cat at the bank, they would have been seriously injured. i googled the problem and saw other people had reported the same thing and i'm hoping that you guys can tell me what the issue was since there were numerous other complaints. thank you so much for your time.

The car is self accelerating!! it is very scary. it does it when i am on drive trying to slow down and stop or when i have been parked and try to backup slowly to move in reverse. it therefore, happens mostly at red lights, stop signs, and in parking lots. i am terrified the car will run over a person crossing the street or walking behind my car in a parking space. when the car self accelerates, it does it suddenly and forcefully. in that split second i slam on the brakes to avoid running over a crossing pedestrian or winding up at crossroads and cause an accident. when i step on the brakes, the car shakes and dies. i have to quickly restart the car again. this constant dying and restarting of the car at red lights and parking lots had drained my battery. this exact self accelerating problem happened in 2011. it was "fixed" at the maxwell ford dealership in 5000 south i-35 78745. they said it was the throttle. i had a new ac compressor put in recently and suddenly the problem came back. ...
