Description of the problem | July 2, 2013, i just pulled out of my garage, came to a stop sign, made a complete stop, proceeded to go forward, had my foot on the accelerator, rpm gauge started going up and down, the wrench light came on, the vehicle started to slow down even though i had my foot on the accelerator, i pulled to the side of the road, the vehicle just stopped and then started to shake, i turned off the vehicle. I waited a few minutes then i started the vehicle again and everything was fine. I went to the ford dealership because the vehicle is still under warranty, they first told me that the computer chip needed to be updated. August 2, 2013, i was driving for about 30 minutes going at 55 mph, the rpm gauge started going up and down, the wrench light came on and i could feel the vehicle lose power even though my foot was on the accelerator, the vehicle went from 55 mph to 20mph within a minute, i pulled over to the side of the road as the vehicle started to shake, turned off the vehicle and waited a few minutes, restarted the vehicle and everything was fine. Call the ford dealership and dropped my vehicle off for inspection again, they called me and told me that it was the throttle body valve that sticks and that ford is aware of the problem. The ford dealership is unable to get the part because its on back order, i have to wait 2 to 3 months for this part. August 9, 2013, i was at a stop sign, i proceeded to go forward while pressing on the accelerator, the vehicle lost power, the wrench light came on and i again was unable to accelerate, i pulled to the side of the road, turned off the vehicle, waited a few minutes and it started again. |
