Description of the problem | While driving my 2015 ford expedition home from work, my vehicle suddenly lost all gas power to the vehicle. My steering still worked and power was still on but i had no gas. I pulled over, turned my engine off and restarted and could go again. It took 6 times to restart to get 2 miles to safe point. Where i then had my vehicle towed to the nearest ford dealership. I thought it was the fuel pump. Turns out it was the electronic throttle body. Which is a known issue for the ford engine, the nhtsa had enough complaints that ford issued a mandatory extended warranty for 4 other type ford vehicles but not the expedition, which has the same type of engine. I had to pay $560. 00 to have this part replaced on my vehicle when it's a known ford issue. My vehicle had 50,700 miles on it at the time of the occurrence. I hope that the nhtsa will look into this issue and have ford expand their make and model warranty as well as reimburse me for my expenses for this replacement. |
