Description of the problem | On a routine drive home from work, i exited the highway and noticed my rpms falling faster than what i was controlling with the brake. Car was losing speed quickly with no rpms to accelerate it forward to a safe stopping point. Was able to pull into a gas station right off highway, but barely as car was apparently entering limited power mode (determined via owners manual). Upon placing car into car, dashboard wrench light illuminated. I then turned the car off, sat a minute, restarted car and everything was fine. Within the course of the next 10 minutes, the same thing occurred 3 more times and check engine light illuminated. Since the first time, this has occurred a total of 6 times while in motion with risk of causing a wreck due to lack of control to not cause car to stop abruptly in middle of road. Shaking has occurred in 4 of the 6 occurrences and car just putters out until it is shut off. Determination due to codes read is the throttle bottle- an electrical issue. While the limited power mode may be a safety feature, its interaction with the throttle body/idle issues poses a potential threat. The electrical issue that throttle bodies are experiencing within this make/model needs to be recalled and taken care off effectively and efficiently by ford. |
