Description of the problem | While driving on the interstate and entering a ramp, the engine just lost power and there was a rapid deceleration. The car had no power and i had to pull over to the shoulder in heavy traffic. There was a wrench symbol lit up on the dash. I towed the car to a ford dealer in bettendorf iowa. They told me the problem was a bad throttle body and it would have to be replaced. There was a shortage of parts because there was 5 cars ahead of me waiting for the same parts. Sounds like a common major problem. Should be recalled for this problem. It could have created a dangerous situation. *jb |
