Description of the problem | I heard a pop sound and there was no response when pressing on the accelerator. Idle was rough, i was able to coast into a parking lot. I let it idle and tried to increase rpm. There was no response to pedal. The car idle roughly. I shut car off and restarted. It cranked longer than normal, like it wasn't getting fuel. Then it ran fine. After about 20 more miles it repeated process, leaving me to coast off the road in traffic. I have a warning light (wrench) meaning throttle body or drive train on my dash during the shut down. I have had this vehicle in ford repair shops over four times for powertrain repairs, starting before warranty was expired. The last one ford would not cover the repair under previous warranty, even though the first repair during warranty period was never fixed. Now i am endangering myself and all those around me by the new problem. If the vehicle does this in a center lane a pile up could occur. |
