| Description of the problem | While traveling on the open hwy @ 75mph, i suddenly got "pull over safely now" message on the info center of the dash and a red triangle alert on the right side of the dash. I pulled over immediately. Stopped the car, turned off the ignition and waited a moment. I then started the car, all seemed fine (no message) and proceeded. A short time later, the exact same thing happened again. I pulled off the hwy and repeated the steps above. The car was riding well and smoothly with no apparent problems. But, the longer i drove, the more frequently the problem occurred. I was only able to drive for a few minutes before the dash board warning would reappear. I pulled into the nearest ford dealership to get the problem resolved. I have been told it is the throttle body and am currently waiting for the problem to be resolved. |
