| Description of the problem | Car idle at stop sign, accelerated into highways to make a left turn, loss of power, engine accelerating, but car moving very slowly, stalled. I pulled the car over on the side of the road, and turned the engine off. When i restarted the car a few minutes later, i was able to drive home without any problem. Then, a few days later, as i was on the way to flow auto in winston-salem, nc, about 6 miles from my home, the car stalled during another left hand turn from a stoplight. I purchased this car less than 3 months ago. It had 36,205 miles on it at purchase. Flow auto says the problem is the throttle drive and it isn't covered under the warranty. Within 90 days of purchase, i have to pay $662 for a repair that has been reported thousands of times by owners of ford focus and mercury milan owners, since the car was produced. |
