| Description of the problem | I would like to know why nobody has done anything about this throttle body problem. If you look online and you will see how many complaints there are about the same problem. I would like this to be on the recall list so all of the ones that own this car will not have to pay anywhere from 300-500 to get it fixed. This is a safety problem i was driving on i295 going about 6mph and i lost all throttle control , i'm in the far left lane and had no where to go so i'm coasting to the right shoulder and all most got hit 4 times. I would say this is a really important safety problem. I read about 35 of the same problems online and i haven't seen anyone from your company or ford comment on this are they waiting for someone to get killed before anything gets done to fix this. I will be calling monday morning to see what you or ford will do about this problem if nothin is done i will contact a lawyer and the news media. We were almost killed and something needs to get done at fords cost not the people who thought they had a safe car. |
