Description of the problem | The vehicle has been diagnosed with a throttle bar issue by a ford dealer. We have been waiting for 30+ days for a new throttle body part. From the time of the first incident in april, the vehicle has stopped running while driving and has been having electrical issues upon start up about a half dozen times including today. Rather than enter a complaint for each incident because we can not recall the exact dates, we are submitting this complaint to cover all incidents. We have been told the part is back ordered and there is no estimated date of delivery. We have not experienced a surge in speed as of yet. Is this vehicle safe for us to be driving? |
