Description of the problem | On the highway in the left lane - very busy area with traffic merging from right when engine stopped - no power at all. Terrifying! Luckily, i was somehow able to get across three lanes of high speed traffic to the breakdown lane. Needed a tow to my ford dealer (55 miles). They diagnosed a defective electronic throttle control and due to the fact this part was backordered, i did not have a car for over a week. Expensive fix. |
