Description of the problem | This has happened sporadically since july 2015. There's no warning, no check engine light. You're driving the car and all the sudden the power to the engine is cut. It maintains a very rough idle as you attempt to maneuver to a shoulder in traffic and once stopped the car shakes violently. When this issue occurs the "wrench" on the dash electronics illuminates. Once you shut the car off and restart the car, it sometimes runs fine for a while, other times this issue occurs again. We've had the car into the shop twice, but because there's no check engine light sourcing the problem is incredibly hard. This is extremely unsafe, especially if it occurs on the interstate or other congested areas. Ford needs to be held liable for such and should issue a mandatory recall. I attached a picture of numerous complaints about the same issue and some say it's the throttle bodies which had an extended warranty for a little bit, but one should not have to have this occur before getting it fixed. |
