Description of the problem | While driving 25-40 mph, the car went into limp mode, no acceleration at all. "yellow wrench" light came on the instrument panel. I was stuck in the intersection, making a left hand turn across two lanes of oncoming traffic, and i could not move the car. The engine did not turn off or stall. I just had no power or ability to accelerate. I was finally able to roll into a safe spot, out of traffic and harms way. I turned the car off and waited a few minutes to restart. When i restarted it, the wrench light was off and the car ran fine. This happened twice, two nights in a row, so i had it towed to the dealer the next day. They were not able to find any problems with the car and wanted me to just take it as is. I mentioned that i had read about issues with the electronic throttle body, and they said it seemed fine. How can they allow me to take a car that is so unsafe to drive? I could have been hit, and the person that hit me could have been killed. I called ford customer relations, regarding an investigation on this problem, and they were required to do a "customer satisfaction program;. But my vin did not fall into this program. I paid to have the etb replaced, out of pocket, and am hoping that this is the problem. Very unsafe situation to be put in by ford. |
