Description of the problem | Was driving home wed june 12, turned a corner (going approx 5-10mph) and the car just turned off. Pulled over and waited a minute then it started right up; drove it home (approx 3/4 mile) and it just "died" again in my driveway. Next morning i was taking it in to the shop to see what the problem could be and as i drove up the entrance, vehicle again just died! (had it checked, nothing found) approx 3 weeks later, june 27, i was going down the freeway approx 65mph getting ready to exit and the car completely went dead (fortunately i could pull over so i did not get hit). I stopped put it in park, waited a minute and then it started right up again. Took it to the ford dealer the following morning, june 28, and was told it needed a new electronic throttle body which is on back order 3-4 weeks! I was also advised that the car was really too dangerous to drive so they recommended that i try not to drive it till the part comes in!! Good if you have 2 vehicles!! |
