Description of the problem | While driving on far left lane of freeway at 70mph, heard/felt clunk (which felt like the transmission slipping but found out after the repair it wasn't trans) pushed gas pedal no acceleration, luckily no one was coming behind me and i was on a slight downhill so i was able to move to the shoulder, put it in park and tried to push gas pedal again still no acceleration, the car was running in idle and stayed that way until tow truck driver came, shut car off towed to ford dealership. On work order it says- throttle body and motor asy, inspect and verify, lost power while driving, hook up ids selftest pcm p2111, perform throttle body test, failed, throttle body fault, replace throttle body, reset kam, retest operation ok. Had to pay lots of my money out of my pocket and pay for a rental car and gas. Researched internet to find this is happening to many people and ford won't do a recall. They should!!! I have always been a loyal ford customer since my dad worked there many years. I have always driven a ford and would like to continue on but may have to rethink this. I wonder how many others there really are that this has happened to. It could have caused an accident if people would have been on the freeway behind me which i am lucky it didn't. Please look into this with ford and get a resolution of a recall so i can be reimbursed and get the repairs done so this doesn't continue to happen to others! Thank you. |
