| Description of the problem | Driving on an interstate 75 mph when the hillside assist light turned on the dash along with other warning lights and immediately lost all power to the engine requiring a pull off to shoulder. Shut off the engine and restarted with no problem, accelerated back to speed and within a few miles the light came on again and lost all power. This happened several more times while attempting to locate a local ford dealer. While waiting at the dealer i searched online and found numerous others have experienced the same issue attributed to a defective throttle body (see attached screenshot). After bringing up the frequency of this issue with the dealer, i was told there is a tsb from ford but no economic relief for the $675 bill since there was not a recall. The dealer stated there was not a recall because this is not a safety issue. I responded that driving 75mph on a busy urban interstate, losing all power, and being forced to find a shoulder immediately is a serious safety issue as one frantically tries to figure out what is happening and searching for a way out of traffic. |
