Suv seems to be idled during start up or even when driving. Sounds airy like its trying to accelerate. Also i have had break pads replaced more than usual. Mechanic said it was reported that they have gone out more than normal. Each time going out before warranty expired. Today, car was placed in reverse and car spent out of control spinning around 3 times before it came to a complete stop before crashing into another vehicle. This took place in the parking lot of walmart. *tr

Throttle body issues, intermittent stahls, pedal suring forward when accelerated. This is a huge safety risk and from what i have read a defect in the 2009 ford models. My truck is in the middle of the repair and i do not have an extended warranty and i believe ford should pay for the expenses of repairing this defect.
