| Description of the problem | While traveling 75 mph on my way home from work my truck just shut off. There were only 2 lanes with no shoulder. I could have been killed or killed others. I got lucky. I took the car to our local ford dealer and they diagnosed it and said i needed to replace the throttle body. Of course i am out of warranty and being force to pay the $400 bill. The service guy proceeds to tell me that ford knew about this issue years ago but it's not common any more. Why on earth was this not recalled. If ford knew about a problem with their vehicles that could potentially kill their customers or other travelers then they should have done the right thing and recalled the vehicle! |
