Description of the problem	"ficm & icp recall" received a recall notice from ford july 2005 in regards to faulty ficm and icp. The ficm was repaired august 2005 by a ford dealership. Note, we did not have any issues with the truck prior to the fix. January 2006 we had to take the truck into the shop due to the engine running rough while idling and acceling; the ficm was replaced due to a short; the issue that was just fixed on the truck. The truck has been in the shop 5 times since january 2006 and has cost us over $11,000 out of pocket to try and resolve this issue that started after the initial recall fix. We have contacted ford hdqrs and they advised to take the truck into the dealership which we did multiple times. Over the last few months the surging has become increasingly worse. While traveling in heavy traffic on i5 pulling a 30' 5th wheel trailer, the truck surged forward unexpectedly just missing the car in front of us. A few weeks ago i was stopped at an intersection, when i began to take my foot off the brake to move forward the truck surged forward 3 feet. I was lucky there wasn't another car close or a person in the street. Just the other day i was parallel parking and when i took my foot off the gas to back up a little the truck surged backward almost hitting the car in back of the truck. The truck also stalls just before coming to a complete stop occasionally. This issue has become extremely dangerous in that i don't feel safe driving the truck. I looked into the california lemon law and it sounds like the truck might be covered under this. We need to get rid of this truck but feel ford does not stands behind their product. I have attached the recall notice and some of the receipts for the repairs done to the truck just in regards to this surging issue. I was only able to attach 5 documents but have many more if needed.
