Description of the problem	The check engine light came on. I took the car in for service. I was told that the throttle body needed to be replaced. That cost me $736. 83. This was done on 10/06/2010. Now again the check engine light has come on so i took the vehicle in for service. I am now told that the throttle body has gone bad. This time the estimate is $950. 00. My mileage is 90,361. Now a little more that a year after the first repair i need to perform this repair again. I believe a recall needs to be forced on the ford motor company for defective parts that are being installed on their vehicles.
