Description of the problem | On july 4, 2009 while traveling on a major highway driving at the speed of 60 mph the acceleration stopped functioning without warning. This was the first time this issue ever occurred. To correct the problem the car was taken to a ford dealership to repair the problem. I was told that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The throttle body was replaced and while leaving the dealership on another major highway the issue happened 3 times after the repair was said to be completed. Both times the issue occurred my family and i was in a near fatal accident. The car was returned to the dealership on that same day. After a day of diagnostic the dealership could not explain to me what was causing the problem. Finally, the dealership called and stated that a radio frequency was causing the problem. I was also told that the there was a problem with the coils. At this point i don't think the certified technicians or the dealership know how to repair the issue. I do know that the service manager want me to keep paying money until they stumble upon a solution. I refuse to put my family on the highway a third time with this ongoing issue. Maybe next time we won't be so lucky. |
