Description of the problem | I was accelerating to get on the i-5 south in carlsbad ca when suddenly the wrench warning light came on and immediately after that the vehicle lost all throttle, pushed the gas pedal down and nothing happened. I was in the third lane and had to coast back to an almost non- existent shoulder and we were nearly struck by two vehicles in the process. I am taking the vehicle back to the ford dealer where it was purchased, we were recently there for a check engine light that was diagnosed to be "no problems". I do not feel confident or safe in this vehicle and will not allow my wife and child to ride as passengers in it again. I am putting the vehicle up for sale and not going to purchase the 2014 i had planned to buy as a second car. Just a note, my co- worker has a 2011 and had the same issue four times with one nearly causing a head-on collision in an intersection. This far along, do people have to die before this is fixed? |
