Description of the problem | The first time it happened, i had just reversed out of driveway, put vehicle into drive and nothing happened when i press the gas pedal.... With 10 year old daughter in car. Fairly busy street, traffic coming both ways, managed to limp to side of road with flashers on. Quick scan of dash showed a wrench shaped warning light. Checked owners manual, shut car off, back on, seemed to correct itself. 2 or 3 days later, wife was driving car, busy area near local mall when same thing happened, told her to turn vehicle off, wait a minute a restart, again problem seemed to resolve itself. After that, remembered i had gotten a letter from ford, found it and to my "surprise" it was a customer service program 13b17, re: throttlebody issues. Had "recommended" service, reprogramming of pcm, that was july;y 11, 2014 drove fine for a couple of weeks, but has happened again with an alarming frequency. Today alone, had to stop, restart vehicle 3 times during what should have been a 10 minute ride, which to about 30 minutes. Ford needs to own this problem before someone is killed! *js |
