What owners wrote

I was parking my 09 fusion at my son's preschool, and was almost stopped in the spot, when my car violently and unexpectedly accelerated forward up over a 4 inch curb. I pressed on the brake as hard as I could, but it was the tree that I hit that stopped me. There was no damage to the car, but I had both my children (4 years old and 11 months old) in their car seats with me at the time. This is the second time it has happened while parking.

For the past month the check engine light has appeared and stayed on for a brief time. Now it stays on . I have had a diagnostic test done and the results were p2112, p0721 and p2104. There appear to be a bad app sensor, throttle actuator control system-forced idle, stuck closed and failed ECM. If this is included in any recall, please let me know asap. This is the only vehicle I have and my lively-hood depends on it.
