Description of the problem	On 2/27/13 throttle was cleaned not replaced per ford recall 12no3. On 5/18/13 being stuck in construction traffic at a stand still, foot on brake engine proceeded like a 747 getting ready to take off. Car moved forward some 1 to 2 ft.. Killed engine, turned it on again with foot on brake car proceeded to move. Killed engine, turned back on. No other problem until i was at a stop light on way to destination. Again engine begin to whine at high rate as if i was in neutral and had foot a gas. Killed engine and was able to proceed to destination without problem. Took vehicle to ford dealership on 5/9/13. Dealership did diagnostic, found throttle body bad. Had to be replaced. There was on or about 3500 miles on vehicle since time of cleaning to repair. Of the 3500 miles, 2000 was on our trip. Talked with ford corporate stated dealership problem not theirs. Ford is aware of this problem and has chosen to clean rather then replace. It is my understanding that this throttle control ties into the transmission in which ford has had their share of problems.
