THIS FORD FIVE HUNDRED SURGES OR REVS UP THE ENGINE, IN FORWARD OR REVERSE, WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS, USUALLY INTO PARKING SPACES OR AT RED LIGHTS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE WE HAVE NO WARNING THAT IT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. I HAVE NOTICED IT IS WORSE IF THE A/C IS ON. WE HAVE AVOIDED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BY SLAMMING ON THE BRAKE, IT WILL EVEN CONTINUE TO SURGE IF THE BRAKE PEDAL IS HELD HARD TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE STARTED DOING THIS WITHIN THE FIRST 150 MILES THAT WE OWNED IT. THE INCIDENTS ARE UNPREDICTABLE AND DANGEROUS. *TR
