Description of the problem | Driving down interstate 45 in houston, car was running, but no power from the gas pedal. Needed to coast to an exit where i stopped completely. I needed to power down the car completely then restart the car before the gas pedal worked again. This has happened twice. The other time was about a month earlier. Ford service department said it was a defective "throttle body". Something like that shouldn't fail so early. I was just out of my warranty as well. |
