Description of the problem | On 25 may18, my 2014 f-150 began completely losing throttle control. While trying to accelerate onto the highway at 55 mph, my truck would shut off with complete loss of throttle response, a wrench icon appeared, check engine light came on and i coasted to the shoulder safely without causing an accident. At complete stop, i had no throttle and a rough engine idle. I restarted the truck and drove home without issue. The following morning i drove the truck 70 miles round trip without incident. The following evening, i lost throttle x2 within . 5 miles when i left my house. I drove to the dealership, 3 miles away, and the throttle went out 4 more times without warning creating a serious safety issue when making turns in intersections when i had complete loss of power. The dealership indicated the failure was the electronic throttle body. Upon research, i found a class action lawsuit against ford for said issue, however my vin number was not "impacted" but the customer satisfaction program. Replacement cost quoted by ford was $373. 66 and inspection recommendation of "performing fuel injection and throttle body service." ah, throttle body would service would come under replacement, right? The service department rep agreed "i didn't even think of that." created a case # under the "customer satisfaction program" but made no headway on a known issue. Will still cost $200 out of pocket with extended warranty. Not a very satisfied customer - known problem with the throttle control and taking no ownership of issue by ford |
