Description of the problem | While driving on the highway and towing a trailer the vehicle suddenly lost power and dramatically slowed down. It was almost like slamming on the brakes. The information window showed "terrain management fault". The engine was barely running and was running erratically. I was able to get pulled over and stopped the engine. When i tried to restart it the "terrain management fault". Appeared again and the engine was again barely running. After a few stops and starts the message cleared and the engine began to run normally. The ford dealer found a bad throttle body assembly was faulty. The repair was not covered under warranty. |
