| Description of the problem | Due to throttle body failure, the truck has gone into a "limp" mode several times. Needless to say for the truck to suddenly stop accelerating when on the highway or even when taking off from a stop sign could be deadly. I wonder how many people are dead because of this and were not able to tell anyone the accident was due to the failure and not because of their driving. Not sure i want my wife or kids to drive anything made with ford's throttle body design. I see there was a customer satisfaction program 13n03 to fix throttle body problems instead of a recall. Needless to say this customer is not satisfied. |
