Description of the problem | While driving the throttle stops working (no response) and the engine goes into idle and displays wrench symbol on dashboard. When you pull over (if possible) and shut engine off and restart it resets and works fine. At first this was intermittent but on my 25 mile commute to work it happened about 8-10 times leaving me stalled in dangerous situations on highways and in middle of intersections with no safe place to pull over. I was told by ford dealer that it is a known part failure and they don't even have any replacements on shelf to repair and that ford might be looking to replace throttle body and recall but did not an answer at this time. Ford is leaving their customers in very dangerous situations and possible lawsuits if nothing is done. *js |
