Description of the problem | While driving at highway speed, car stopped. I shut off engine waited and restarted. Drove 35 miles this way in rushhour traffic. Went autozone (as ford was closed for day) and had code pulled. It said electronic throttle body. Cannot get part from parts store, will try to get part from dealer. A friend of mine who use to work for ford said that there have been 750,000 replaced throttle components for this model year. This left me in a very unsafe situation. |
