Description of the problem | I was driving to go to lunch when my throttle body just stopped working in the middle of the road. I was unable to drive my vehicle to a safe location out of the way of traffic. I had to shut it off several times to just get it a side road. I have contacted ford in regards to being reimbursed for having this part replaced which i paid for out of my own pocket and they are not willing to reimburse me stating that the date for reimbursement was over july 31st 2014. I have found on the nhtsa that the warranty is good for 10 years or 150,000 miles from the data of original purchase, which i purchased the car in november 2012 and there is only 55,000 miles on it which is clearly under the warranty. I had the part replaced at bartow ford in bartow, fl and the are refusing to reimburse me as well. |
