Description of the problem | Was driving about 60mph on in mountains of maryland, 3hrs from home when vehicle started to hesitate and then i had no power at all even though i was depressing pedal. Seemed to be idling and coasting. Was nearly rear ended.... Pulled over to emerg lane quite shaken up vehicle was idling vary rough. Wrench light was on. Shut off vehicle, waited about 10min. Then restarted light was off. Book idicated powertrain or throttle issue. Was able to drive for about 20-30 minutes then same thing occured. This happened about 4 times. Made it to a dealer and had someone pick me up. 38000 miles on the vehicle - absolutely no reason for this part to fail. Had regulaer maintanance and even had throttle body cleaned and reprogram done as part of a technicain bulletin. Part has been back ordered for 3 weeks. Still no vehicle. There is a definite vehicle safety issue here. Somebody is going to be killed in an accident by losing all power in the middle of driving. This is a defective part that ford needs to recall and address immediately!!! |
