Description of the problem | I just exited the pa turnpike when my truck began to sputter. The rpms were fluctuating. I was able to coast off to the side of the road, but am glad this happened after i got off the turnpike where i was traveling at 65 mph and had no shoulder to pull off to. It happened twice this week. Monday, september 2nd, as i was traveling apx 55 mph on pa rt 422 and again the following day as i was driving on county line rd at apx. 40 mph. Each time the same thing would happen. My vehicle would sputter and rpms would fluctuate as the engine died. I was almost rear ended by several cars the last time since there was not enough shoulder for me to get my vehicle completely off the road as the engine died. All temperatures were fine and my fluids are good. I took my vehicle into a dealership this morning for diagnostics. I was told it was the throttle vale. After looking online i have noticed many people are having this same issue. Please look into this. Ford needs to fix this unsafe issue! *jb |
