| Description of the problem | On friday, march 31st, 2017 i was doing 65 mph on a freeway when i felt a jolt from the vehicle, all engine warning lights came on and i lost all throttle power to the engine via the gas pedal, i was left to helplessly coast to a stop over on the shoulder. I shut off the engine the restarted and was able to move off, then about 2 miles later at 35 mph the same thing happened again. I switched off and restarted and was then able to drive the 30 miles back home. I am taking it into ford who are claiming no knowledge of this fault, but this is not true as there are many other people who have experienced the same thing as i found out when i found these urls http://www. Carcomplaints. Com/ford/f-150/2016/engine/engine_stalls_dies_while_driving. Shtml http://www. Carcomplaints. Com/ford/f-150/2016/engine/engine. Shtml it would appear to be the result of a bad electronic throttle body cover which ford have not bothered to either acknowledge is a problem or endeavored to fix, so i am simply facing the prospect of them replacing the existing one with the same one that could fail again at any time as has been noted by other owners who have experienced this very frightening situation. Given the seriousness and potentially lethal consequences of this i demand ford issue a recall and have this problem properly seen to. I already have the matter in the hands of my attorney and will, at the very least, be bringing an action against them under the nys lemon laws. It's barely 7 months old with about 7,000 miles on the clock as far as i'm concerned this vehicle is a total liability and unfit for purpose and serious action needs to be taken by ford, firstly to acknowledge it as a known problem and then secondly instigating a recall to effectively correct the problem by upgrading and fixing the part at fault. |
