| Description of the problem | Ford throttle body issue - vehicle has less than 9000 miles. While traveling on highway (65-70mph) in a remote area, the vehicle suddenly loss acceleration and begun to shudder. No response when pressing gas pedal. We coasted to the roadside and attempted to restart the car. Vehicle dash warnings for descent assistance and collision avoidance appeared. Third attempt to restart vehicle worked. The issue occurred on 4 other occasions including stalling in a busy intersection shortly after accelerating from a stop. Each time restarting the car results in shuddering and error messages on the dash. Dealership says its a known issue and parts will take up to 3 weeks plus repair time. Manufacturer offered only to check on parts and update us 4 days later. They did not offered loan vehicle. Internet research points to defective throttle body for similar vehicles. Vehicle also has a defective sensor for tailgate ajar that has been unresolved in two attempts to repair. Vehicle is unsafe to drive. |
