Had computer re-programed!

I just bought a used 2004 f150 lariat w/25k miles on it. I immediately took it on a trip and after driving for about 500 miles my engine failsage light came on and it went into limp mode. This happened a few more times and more frequently until I made it to a Ford dealership. They put it on the computer and had to reprogram it and it cost me $160.00!!

I called the dealership (about a day and a half after I had bought it) and they said "oh, you must have got some bad gas" and "we gave you a good deal on the truck, what more do you want!"

I later found out more specifically that the problem had to do with the throttle position sensor for which Ford had sent out a bulletin on and the tech was able to reprogram accordingly.

My questions are this:
Should I expect the Ford dealership to reimburse me for this?
and
Is this an isolated incident that I should not have to encounter again as the problem is fixed.

Thanks in advance for your opinions
