 Description of the problemMy husband and i were driving from downtown columbus back to our home and we were in between multiple cars on the freeway. While going 65 mph the vehicle began to slightly jerk and loose speed. The vehicles around us and behind us were attempting to avoid crashing into us. We about half a mile from the nearest exit and by the time we made it to the ramp we were only going 35 mph. There was no where to safely pull over on the freeway due to ongoing construction. It was extremely dangerous and i felt as though we could have been in a potentially deadly accident. Throughout this ordeal the throttle control/powertrain light was on. Once we got off on the nearest exit we were forced to come to a complete stop. We obviously could not use the gas to go forward and it was scary because we had traffic behind us. We turned the vehicle completely off and restarted it right there on the exit ramp and to our surprise the vehicle started up and the light was off. After reading how many people have had this same incident occur to them while driving this vehicle i am shocked that there has not been a recall. Does someone have to die before someone does something about this? What if my 2 year old had been in the vehicle on the freeway and someone hit us because we were unable to avoid a crash? Now i know that i should not be driving this vehicle because it appears that this will continue from what i have read and i am supposed to give money to ford to fix a problem that is not my fault... *shaking my head*, someone needs to do something about this.
