Description of the problem | The engine went into a low power mode and throttle was un responsive, i had to cruise to a stop and restart then it seems ok but i notice the throttle will speed up and slow down when i had to run thru a school zone(low speed) it also happened several times after that most recently on 4/21/14 on the highway at 65 mph and i had to drift to the shoulder to restart the car while others honked and veered around me i do not understand why ford has not recalled these. I did get a letter called the customer satisfaction program 13n03 that states the problem- throttle body- is under extended warranty but only if the wrench light is on and mine stays on only when there is a problem if there is additional problems i would have to pay just to get it diagnosed. I am not impressed with fords attempt at this (soft) recall. |
