Description of the problem | Whe leaving our home in haines city,fl. The vehicle roughly changed gears. Then we entered a very busy highway and went to accelerate and lost power,and acted like it wanted to stall the drive triain light then lit up. The vehicles behind blew their horns because the vehicle slowed substantialy without showing brake lights. We took the vehicle to the ford garage ,and charged us for analizing the problem and the cost and installation of the throttlebody. The service representative told us he fthought it would be the throttle body,prior to analizing it. After researching ford vehicle problems on the computer,i found that this is a common problem with the ford vehicles. This is a problem that could cause very serious rea end collisions, and should be the responsibility of the ford motor to repair and to resolve the problem. Thisshould not be a failur of this part on a vehicle with low mileage especially. *tt |
