Description of the problem | My 17 yer old daughter was driving at highway speed and vehicle lost power and immediatley slowed quickly. There were vehicles in front and in back of her at the time and since the vehicle slowed on it's own, there were no brake lights to warn traffic around her that she was slowing. Very scary situation. Ford dealership diagnosed the problem as a bad throttle body, with a 2 month wait for the part due to high number of ford vehicles with this problem (part on backorder). I am guessing with a 2 month wait on a part, there are thousands of ford owners who have had similar experience. Thought this was a joke, but after calling other ford dealerships and checking the internet soon found out my duaghters experince was not unique. |
