| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Driving at 45mph on road, maintaining constant speed, car goes into limp mode, no throttle control. Wrench light comes on. Pulled over to side of the road, put car into park and waited a few seconds, car re-ignited and was able to get home. This happened again 2 times the next day in route to the grocery store which is less than 4 miles away. It has consistently been happening nearly every time i drive it. I have stalled out at 2 intersections which is very dangerous. I just had the car diagnosed with electronic throttle body failure. 136. 00 later, and i have ordered the new part, but was told it could take 2-3 weeks before they are available and that if i saved my receipt i will be reimbursed by ford/mercury at recall. I am afraid to drive the car at this point because there is no telling when it will just stall again. Really need my car to get to work! |
