Description of the problem | After 65-70 mph on interstate with no issue "jump" or slip occurs after exiting, coming to stop and then accelerating again. Upon accelerating car jumps hard with vibration. Was told nothing wrong and needed front end alignment?? This issue has occurred since purchasing brand new. Was always told nothing wrong with car while under warranty. Once out of warranty ford dealer in tn on 9-12-11 told me again nothing wrong with vehicle and charged me $98. Try to explain issues however they put in their words. Took car again 7-23-12 to dealer, apparently couldn't find issue. 7-7-13: car comes to stop on interstate! Nothing happens when pressing accelerator however still has power. Had to stop turn off engine and restart! This has happened 5 times in past week. Taking to dealership tomorrow july 22 2013. Appears to be same symptoms as throttle body issues! Dangerous to have car stop on freeway! Very disappointing as this car is only 3 yrs new! |
