Description of the problem | 2016 ford expedition el limited - manufactured in dearborn michigan "yellow wrench" warning light came on the freeway and cut 100% of power to the motor, almost causing an accident. I had to traverse traffic to get to a safe area. Called a dealership and they said it was likely the throttle body. Ford implemented a voluntary recall for all other 2015 & 2016 models except the expedition which is built on the exact same assembly line as the f150 and with the same defective part. Ford recall number was 16b32. I am paying $500 out of pocket since this item is not covered under warranty and my vehicle was not included in the recall. This issue is dangerous and could seriously hurt or kill someone. Ford has had a history of bad throttle bodies and the nhsta needs to have this issue formally recalled. |
