| Description of the problem | I was driving along on the highway and i felt my car stall a little, then my speed started slowing down automatically. The wrench symbol came on the dashboard so i pulled over and the car shut off. I was able to start the car and i started driving again but my car wouldn't let me go over 40 miles an hour so i pulled over again. I was only 5 miles from home so i was able to drive my car home. We took it to a ford dealership and they ran tests on it and i was told the throttle body needed replaced. They said it was covered under my warranty however they didn't know when they could get the part for me because it was out of stock. I did my own research and found that there is a possible recall on the throttle body for my type of car. Waiting to get my car fixed. |
