I ALSO HAVE THIS PROBLEM!

Ever since I first purchased my 2009 Ford Escape I noticed that it surged on occassion. I blew it off as that's just how it drivers. But today as I was on my way to lunch, suddenly and unexpectedly my car recoiled and starting slowing down. No matter how hard I pushed the gas pedal it wasn't getting any gas.
I managed to get out of the way of traffic and pull into a parking lot where I called a Ford Dealership.
The Dealership arranged a tow truck and picked me up. I thought it was the transmission, but after it was checked out I was told it was the throttle body that failed. I only have 30,888 miles on it and since I had the foresight to purchase their extended warranty it will be covered except for the deductible. However, it is dangerous and no parts should fail like this on a vehicle with less then 31,000 miles especially as much as these SUV's cost. I am highly ticked at this and a recall is in order. I don't feel that I should have to pay anything even if it is just the deductible.
