Cruise Control problems of the 2007 Ford Fusion

I was driving using cruise control today going 60 mph on a highway with my 2007 Ford Fusion. All of a sudden, I felt the car jolt. I pressed the gas, but nothing happened as if the car was in neutral. I had to coast to the side of the road. I noticed that the warning light in the shape of a wrench was on. I turned off the car. When I turned it back on, the light was off and the car worked just fine. I looked up the description of the light in the owner's manual and it said it was related to a fault in the powertrain or throttle. I saw where several people have reported this exact problem with 2010 models of the Fusion. I just had to report that it happened on my 2007 model as well. I will be taking it in to get looked at. This is very dangerous. I could have wrecked or caused an accident because I could not control the speed of my car at the time. Someone will be killed if this problem is not resolved and a recall issued. I was really scared. There needs to be a recall. I will not be using cruise control until I am confident that my car is completely fixed.

I previously thought it was just my operation, the floor mat interfering with the gas pedal, or my imagination as it had happened twice before over the last 18 months. However, the incident yesterday was quite evident without any other outside influence. I had been driving in our rural area using the cruise control of our Fusion. I tapped on the brake to disengage the control, and slowed to a stop sign. After traffic cleared I stepped on the accelerator pedal to cross the intersection. As I started to move, the pedal dropped noticeably from the sole of my shoe and the Fusion immediately accelerated at a rate greater than my desire and not under my control. I immediately disengaged the cruise control via the steering wheel on/off button and all operation resumed to normal.

I was driving my 2007 Fusion awd in cruise control when forward motion stopped ( I was in the 3rd of 5 lanes in traffic) a trouble light came on. I pulled to side of road. Car would not move. Restarted car and everything reset and able to drive . Proceeded home 200 miles . It did it again about 5 miles from home rest. Dealership recalibrated module.

When activating the cruise control on a brand new 07 sel awd 3. 0 Fusion the gas pedal had a dead range of about half way and could not get acceleration. Took my foot off the pedal and the drivetrain " clunked " when I put my foot back on the pedal. The wrench symbol illuminated and I had to pull off the highway due to no acceleration. After I turned off the engine and checked the fuses, engine compartment for anything obvious I re-started the engine and the wrench light went off and everything was fine. Imagine being in traffic unable to move.
