Description of the problem	Pulled 2008 milan in parking lot, put in park, engine began to race, tapped gas pedal, engine returned to normal. Car started fine, driven short distance, i stopped at stop sign. Put foot on gas pedal, car began 'limp home' mode, was able to pull to curb. Wrench light appeared. Shut car off a few minutes. Started fine, wrench light on, was able to drive few blocks to get home. Next day started engine 3 times, each stalling within seconds. Never had issues with car. Purchased precertified in 2011, 52,0000 mi. On it. Will own 7 yrs. May 2018. I put 1000 mi. Yrly. On car. Odometer now under 59,500. On 3/9/18 car towed to dealership (where i purchased it). Car sat in lot 10 days before looked at. Finally, checked and diagnosed. Installed new throttle body. Re-tested. Problem. Installed new accelerator. Re-test. Problem. Codes appearing. I contacted ford motor co. In michigan. Told to keep calling dealership. I've spoken to numerous staff already & asked for loaner car. Not granted. I did internet research & found lawsuit against ford about 'limp home' mode involving throttle body & computer sensors defect on ford, mercury & lincoln brought on by nccc. Ford not forced to recall this defect involving 1. 6 million cars. Many internet sites have shown complaints with this issue. It is a major safety hazard! Numerous owners wrote to validate car repaired only to experience same 'limp home' incident return. Stories involve highway driving when loss of acceleration occurred. Someone has to be killed by this manufacturing defect before it's back to forcing ford to own up to neglect to make a profit. My experience leaves me without a car, cancellations of appts, relying on cabs or friend to shop. This is a serious safety issue. It's now 4 weeks without a car. Am told warranty expired. Can i please be directed to proper government agency with jurisdiction to help me resolve this?
