Description of the problem | I bought our car brand new on april of 2010. On 06/08/13 (3pm) we were in turnpike running 70 mph when suddenly the car slowly lost speed eventually we stopped on the side and at the same time the engine lights symbol came on. We turn it back on and drove approx 10 miles and it happened again. Everytime the engine turned off we can always turn it back on and drive few miles. We decided, for us to at least get home (6pm) we have to drive on city limit 45 mph, and it never game us a problem. Because on those incidents on the same day we decided to send our car the next day to the ford service center. After 24 hrs 06/10/13 they called that it is the throttle body that they need to replace. Until now we are still waiting on the parts and of course pay an estimate of $582. |
