| Description of the problem | Approximately march of 2013. I was driving north on moulton blvd, suddenly the car lost speed and a red triangle shaped came on and stated "drive to side of road safely and shut off the car engine" i took it to lincoln garage and they kept my car for a week, waiting for directions of procedure from detroit, they told me they had replaced the hybrid battery. The car ran great again. June 15, 2015 it shut down again, like before, i took it to the lincoln dealer, they said there were not any codes, but told me it was a bad throttle body, of which they changed. June 24,2015, the car shut down again, the red triangle shape light came on, took it into lincoln dealer the same day, they told me the computer said the car shut down, but no computer codes. This makes me think that a new throttle body was not necessary. A lincoln technician has been driving my automobile for the last few days and will do so over this week-end. He has a computer attached to the auto engine, looking for the cause. When the car shuts down, pressing the accelerator gets no response. |
