Description of the problem | For the 3rd time in the past year i am driving down the road at about 40 mph - engine lights comes on, message "check electronic throttle control" comes on - i have no power, i coast to the side lane turn on hazard lights, turn key to off position. Restart the car (takes a couple of tries) and continue - this is extremely dangerous and should be addressed by ford ( i have reported this issue) looking on line and on one site http://www. Carcomplaints. Com/ford/expedition/2005/engine/vehicle_speed_control. Shtml there are 52 complaints with the same issue. There are many other sites reporting the same exact problem. I am taking my vehicle to the dealer tomorrow - what else should i be doing to resolve this issue. - it's apparent that many other people are having this same exact issue- does it take someone dying to get the car manufacturers to listen to their customers? |
