Description of the problem | I was driving under normal driving conditions on the expressway when the car suddenly jerked and i no longer could accelerate and the service engine light on the dashboard began flashing. Fortunately, i was able to get on to the shoulder and call a tow truck. It was due to a faulty throttle body. Per the dealer where my vehicle was towed to, the part needed was on ford's national backorder list and they did not know when the part would become available. It took 5 weeks to get the part. It has only been about 7 weeks and my car did the same jerk on the expressway again today. I was able to continue driving to work as no service lights ignited on the dashboard, but i will be taking my vehicle in to get checked again. *jb |
