 Description of the problemWhen driving primarily at low or declining speeds as in anticipation of a stop light or turn into my driveway, when i slow down and then slightly accelerate (either into the driveway or if the light changes before i have fully stopped), i notice a stall or pause in acceleration. This has happened a number of times but i only recently realized the consistent scenario. I had possibly the same symptom at higher speed when driving on the freeway, noticing the speed would seem to fluctuate oddly while in rapid and quick succession like it was trying to decide whether to accelerate or decelerate. I am very concerned that this is a sign of a failing throttle body per a ford recall. After reading about this failure, i am convinced it is so. My dealership tells me they can only diagnose a total failure of this part--which seems to me like my life is at risk to being hit from behind or from the side if the car stalls in heavy traffic. I am becoming afraid to drive this car. If the part is bad are we just going to sacrifice a few people's lives before holding a congressional investigation?? How many is enough?

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
  • What is Defect?

    Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
