| Description of the problem | I have a 2012 f-150 and have lost power along with the body of truck shacking on 4 occasions. Want to know how many throttle bodies i have had - the original, the replacement in 2016, another replacement in 2016 and now i broke down again yesterday. Actually on the 3rd throttle body, my husband dropped me off to pick truck up at dealership and i broke down in the ford dealership parking lot as i was exiting the dealership. I again left it and they said it was dust on something and later afternoon delivered it to my house. So now one year later... One year to the day of breaking down, yesterday 5/11/17, i lost power on top of a big bridge on the inside line coming on to our island and by the grace of god no one was in the outer lane and i was able to coast over to the very small and tight emergency lane. People are usually cresting the bridge at 60 mph so i say god was watching over us. We called 911 and waited in the emergency lane on top of bridge and had a police escort off the bridge to a parking lot. We were afraid to move on our own in case someone crested the bridge and was caught off guard as we were coasting down. The emergency lane is very narrow on the bridge and it was a little nerve-wracking. After sitting 5 minutes i was able to start the truck again which is always the case. I had it towed to the ford dealership and have called left message twice to speak to the service manager and he has yet to call me back. Way to go ford! My faith in you is lost. I will never feel safe in my truck again. How many throttle bodies does one have to go through before you feel there needs to be a recall on the 2012 f-150. #luckytobealive |
