| Description of the problem | While driving normally error/maintenance alarms go off and the truck will drop to a rough idle (total loss of power), is not responsive to throttle input, and multiple alarm messages are displayed. In every case, i have had to pull over, shut the engine down, wait until all systems have powered down, and restart the truck. In the past and the most recent occurrence, sometimes this only occurs once but in a couple of instances it will occur a couple of times in a row before resuming normal operation. This is a very dangerous condition- total loss of power while in traffic on busy roads. Ford has diagnosed as an electronic throttle body failure and refused to cover this on warranty (out of warranty 3 mos) and it has taken much research on my part to discover that this is a known issue with ford etb's going back some time with over 60k failure reports over many different vehicles. |
