Description of the problem | We were driving around 50 mph when the car stopped accelerating and we slowed down to 5 mph. The wrench light and check engine light lit up. Luckily, there was nobody on the road behind us or we might have been killed from the sudden change in acceleration. We were told by our dealer that the throttle body needed replacing. They replaced it but the check engine light is still on. It was not covered by warranty (i was told by ford customer service that no warranty covers that part). How convenient that they specifically don't cover a part that is clearly defective. I am not sure if anyone has died from this problem, but i have two teenage sons who drive that car and i don't trust it anymore. After reading all of the complaints on this site, and elsewhere, i demand that an investigation be done into this faulty part before someone is injured or killed. Thank you. |
