Gasoline Fuel System Problems of Ford Taurus - part 2

Our company has 2 of the 2005 Ford Taurus. Both bought new from Ford dealer. Within weeks of each other in year 2009 both experienced major problem. The vehicle would accelerate while driving and while at stop. Driver could not brake to deactivate cruise or put car in neutral to slow down. Rpms revved very high. Driver had to keep both feet on brake to keep car from moving when at stop. Both taken to Ford dealership for work. Different things were done to prevent.

2008 Ford Taurusx - vehicle surges or looses power when approaching a stop. Vehicle also has low power and poor acceleration at times. Check/service engine light comes on and off. This has been happening since we purchased the vehicle in 2009. Ford did not tell us what the problem was until the warranty ended in 2010 with 36k miles. Ford said we need a new throttle body. We had the throttle body replaced but from what I have read the problem is expected to return as soon as the throttle body gets normal dirt form normal operation (3months estimated time). This car is the primary vehicle for my wife and two small children and I fear for their safety but what can I do with a car I cant afford to trade away for something decent and safe.
