| Description of the problem | When driving on freeway, check engine light came on and there was a loss of power. I pulled off the freeway and the engine stalled. There was a total loss of power and the vehicle would barely move forward when the gas pedal was depressed. The vehicle was towed to a ford dealership where they reprogrammed the turbo-charger. It was raining at the time of this incident. On 9/14/15 the vehicle again had a catastrophic engine failure. It was not raining at the time of this incident. The vehicle shook violently and had a total loss of power. The wrench symbol and the check engine light came on. The vehicle would barely move forward when the gas pedal was depressed. The vehicle was towed to a ford dealership where they replaced the "throttle body". Ford made both repairs under warranty, but they refused to reimburse us for our towing, hotel and rental car expenses incurred as a result of our vehicle breaking down. |
