Description of the problem | On 11-30-2016 with clear weather at about 3 pm traveling at traffic speed of 70 mph on i610 south loop east harris county tx (city of houston) in the 3rd lane right from the right side shoulder of 4 lanes, a "wrench" icon come on the display and said to contact the dealer. Immediately at the same time the expedition lost all accelerator power. The pedal went limp. A hazardous, perilous drift across the oncoming 2 right lanes to the shoulder was terrifying . By the grace of god we made it to the shoulder without being hit and/or causing a multi car wreck and probable fatalities. The car motor continued running, but there was no acceleration, no power to move the car. The car was towed to the ford dealer where the throttle body identified as the failure and was replaced. The original part throttle body replaced was part # bl3z*9e9268a. The new throttle body is part # bl3z*9e926*b. I have had this ford expedition for 11 months. I learned many throttle body parts on ford explorers have been replaced by searching the internet for information. There was no listings of 2016 expeditions having this life threatening failure. I do hope and pray that no one is hurt or killed before this situation is corrected. |
