 Description of the problemAs i pulled out into the flow of traffic from a gas station, i realized my car would not accelerate beyond 15-20 mph. I immediately pulled over to the right hand lane and proceeded to the stop light, which was about a 100 yards down the road. At the red light i placed the car into neutral and discovered the engine would not go beyond 3500-4000 rpm's. I then turned on the warning flashers, and when the light turned green i pulled over to the side of the road and proceeded at 15-20 mph until i could turn into a safe area about 1 mile down. I then had the car towed to the local ford dealer. When the dealer ran my vin# through their system, it showed that a technical service bulletin had been issued regarding this very problem. They then repaired the car and it now seems to be running ok, although i don't feel real good about it. Hopefully something like this will not happen again, especially if i am in a situation like driving on the freeway at high speeds. Myself and my wife were knowingly put into a potentially unsafe risk by ford motor company, which i feel could have been avoided if ford motor company had been a little more proactive in notifying their customers of the possibility of something like this occurring.
