Description of the problem | Pulled into traffic on a busy 4 lane freeway and as i reached 50 mph and all throttle control disappeared and car was only steerable but no acceleration as i tried to work the car off to the side creating a hazardous situation. The engine was still running roughly but with no gas petal response. I turned off the car, re-tried starting and then no signs of problems, took to dealer and found faulty throttle body, a national back order from ford indicating that this is happening all over the country, and will not be covered by warranty, far short of what would be expected of a throttle body, and creating a dangerous safety issue. |
