Description of the problem	The vehicle surges at lower rpms between 1,000 and 2,000. Dealership tested the problem and found a defective throttle position sensor. Upon review a new throttle body assembly also needed to be replaced. The dealership then re-programmed the pcm to current calibration and road tested the vehicle. Approximately two years later the same problem has reoccurred. The car surges at various speeds and loses power. It is extremely dangerous. We have brought the vehicle to different mechanics who have diagnosed the vehicle with again having a defective throttle sensor and throttle body. We had the throttle body replaced but are still experiencing the problem. The check engine light and maintenance light come on when the car loses acceleration power, but once we restart the car the lights go off. Again, this is extremely dangerous as it has occurred at speeds between 45-55 mph. We are seeking to have this vehicle recalled as we have seen many other customer complaints with the same problem, or receiving a dealership credit to have the work done again.
