| Description of the problem | My wife was driving vehicle and dash started flashing "hill start assist not available", "service advanced trac" and the wrench icon started displaying on console. Vehicle vibrated heavily slowed down in a "cripple" mode no matter how hard gas pedal was pressed. She pulled over, turned the ignition off and waited 5+ minutes before restarting. It re-started with engine light lit. In order to get it to dealer, she had to drive approximately 15 miles. Vehicle drove ok for a bit and then exhibited similar behavior 4 more times, including once going up the conejo grade between camarillo and newbury park where a big rig had to take evasive action to avoid hitting her when the ford f150 suddenly and uncontrollably slowed down. Had the semi driving not been paying attention, he could have easily hit her. Ford dealer diagnosed as bad throttle body on 11/2/2020 same vehicle had exhibited brake loss due to faulty master cylinder (now a recall) in august of 2019. |
