Description of the problem | Last year i had the throttle body recalibrate and cleaned. After receiving the extended warranty, ford replaced the part at no cost. It has been not even a year yet and my car is experiencing the same problems. I was at a stop light and my vehicle stalled our and the wrench light came on as well as some other lights. The light turned green and from what i remember from the other 1000 posts, they said to turn the car off and restart it. That's exactly what i did. It obviously occurred a few more times as well. I took it to the dealer and my bill was 1,000 dollars. They changed a purge valve which was stuck open. Therefore, allowing the gas to flow directly to the canister. They also mentioned how dirty the engine was and recommended that i get a flush done on the vehicle. I declined because i knew that carbon was coming from the throttle body. Anyways, the vehicle is very unstable and unsafe. When i step on the gas pedal, it takes a good 7 seconds to accelerate and therefore possibly causing a crash, especially trying to merge on the parkway. I went through this a year ago and ever since spent over 6,000 dollars in repairs. Not to mention the motor mounts which break pretty often. It looks as though the transmission is going to jump out of the vehicle. I called ford and explained that my car was experiencing throttle body issues again and they said that once it's fixed, the warranty is up and i have to pay out of pocket. This is ridiculous! Their cars are unsafe. What if i was one of the victims where the car stalled while driving? I know this has happened. Please look into this vehicle, it is not a safe car. |
