Description of the problem | Coming off an exit ramp at approx. 35 mph i felt a jerking/stalling feeling as i merged into freeway traffic where the speed limit is 65 mph. I viewed my instrument panel and found the wrench symbol illuminated. Acceleration was sluggish briefly, but after awhile acceleration seemed to return to norm. All the while the wrench light remained illuminated for an approx. 25 miles. Once in a safe location i turned the car off and waited approximately two minutes before attempting to restart it. Upon restarting the wrench light was no longer illuminated. I drove the car another approx. 10 miles to make it home and the wrench light is no longer illuminated when car is restarted. This all took place in the midst of a snow/sleet storm. A drive that typically takes approx. 45 minutes took approx. 4 hours. I called the service department of my local ford dealership and understandably i found that they had closed and reopening the next day was/is in question due to the weather. |
