Description of the problem | I was driving on the highway with my cruise control on when the cruise control shut off and a wrench light came on. The car stopped excelling and i had to cruise from the fast lane over 2 lanes to the side of the road. Once to the side i turned my car off waited a minute and then turned it back on. It turned on fine and ran fine from then on. I of course called ford immediately but it was after hours and i left a message. After about an hour of driving it began to shake my foot when i pushed on the accelerator. Prior to this i did feel some slipping or surges every so often when i was accelerating as if it was having trouble shifting. When i brought it to ford it was decided that my throttle body needed to be replaced. This was done fast and was covered under my extended warranty it was to be fixed for just my deductible of $100. All fine and dandy until i read the reviews that this has been going on for a while and multiple people have been affected. |
