Description of the problem | The vehicle was working fine one moment, and the next i was unable to accelerate over 15 mph. I managed to drive the vehicle with the flashers on until i could safely pull into a parking lot. I called the ford dealership and had it towed to their location. After some hours, i was told that the car checked out fine and could not find what the issue was. Later, the dealership called me back and said that they had found a "technical service bulletin" regarding this very issue. Dealership did a calibration and post road test ok at this time. I wanted a reliable car that i could depend on, and now have trust issues with it. |
