Description of the problem | While driving in rush hour traffic on my way to work, i attempted to change lanes, but the car stalled and started flashing the message "see manual". Thankfully, i was able to navigate at a very reduced speed (more like a coast) into a gas station parking lot. The car is only six (6) months old with a little over 8,000 miles. I had to have it towed into the dealership where it was determined that a new throttle body was needed. I am very disappointed in ford as i learned that the throttle bodies have been going out for years in many of the ford models and still the same problematic throttle bodies are being installed into new vehicles. I am thankful that i had already exited the interstate when this happened because the outcome might have been very bad had i been traveling at 70 mph when this occurred. Ford really should look into installing better throttle bodies onto their vehicles before someone is seriously injured or even killed. |
