Description of the problem	Just recently noticed my 06 ford explorer having unexpected engine surges. Went to stop at an intersection and it felt like the vehicle was fighting me to stop. When the light turned green i gave it a little gas however the vehicle begin to maintain that speed like i had the cruise control on. I purposely did not give the vehicle any gas and saw that it just kept accelerating. Finally after breaking out i began to brake and again felt the vehicle accelerating. Since no one was in front of me i wanted to see what the vehicle did if i gave it a little gas in which it made a popping sound and did not respond when i gave it more gas but the engine still was running. I pulled over and put the vehicle in park. I tried to rev the engine but it did not respond. A wrench light came on during this process. I turned the vehicle off then on again in which it seemed there was nothing wrong. As i drove home it did fine except when stopped at the same intersection it died. I started it again and had no problems and i did make it home. After some research i found multiple similar problems like this with this vehicle however no recalls have been issued. I have an 8 year old son and do not feel comfortable driving this vehicle. At this time we cannot afford to get this fixed. What are my options at this point other than making a complaint? Please help! I'm a hard working american that likes to buy vehicles made in the usa however we as a nation need to help out with these issues so we all can continue to support american car purchases. Thanks *dt
