Description of the problem | Was driving to work on local interstate @ 60mph, approx 5am (luckily very few cars on road at this hour). Lost all power, no acceleration possible, but engine dial still showing <1000rpm. Was able to coast to shoulder, yellow wrench symbol was lit up, turned off engine, re-started, continued to work. Happened again @ about 30 mph, 15 minutes later, on city street. Called ford service later that morning and scheduled to drop vehicle off next business day (had to drive it for two more days). Happened several more times during all types of driving: highway, rural, city; at speeds between 25-70 mph, both with and without cruise control being used. Got vehicle to dealer in afternoon. Service tech called around dinner time to say the throttle body would need to be replaced. Repairs made at a cost of about $450. Picked vehicle up later in evening. No problems so far. This appears to be a common problem as seen/read in several forums and news reports. |
