Description of the problem | Like many others, i'm experiencing increasingly frequent acceleration failures (no acceleration with visual cue as well as acceleration surges) consistent with (and identified by dealer as) a malfunctioning etb. Additionally, it seems that the throttle body may be affected by both proximity and stress sensors, as the failures (and generally fairly dramatic drops in speed) tend to occur most frequently at high speeds in heavy traffic. Per ford's response to the safety investigation (inrl-pe13003-57050p), the manufacturer submits that the resulting fmem mode (always the most severe of "good luck with that" in my vehicle's case) allows for safe maneuvering. While this may be true on the test courses in dearborn, i'd gladly volunteer my vehicle to allow my neighbors to re-evaluate this claim in actual lansing traffic. *tt |
