Started noticing that the vehicle would suddenly surge in acceleration on its own when parking or backing out of parking spaces. The failure started out as barely noticeable to a constant and ever increasing surge and are constantly getting worse. After avoiding several "near crash incidents" I told my wife to have the vehicle checked. Took vehicle to Ford garage for repairs. Repair cost was quoted as $500 and some odd dollars for the part (electronic throttle linkage) with cost of labor to remove and replace linkage to be additional. Ford dealer informed me that deliver of linkage to their facility would be approximately 13august2010 at the earliest. I asked about locating and have shipped "over night" express the linkage instead of waiting 2 to 3 weeks. Dealer informed me that they would check with other dealers and if they had the part they would get it and would cost me extra since they were not getting it from Ford!.
