Description of the problem	My car has a issue with electronic throttle, i called and was told sorry your 189,000 is over 150,000 limit to be repaired. I haven't had the car for 3 years yet. This should be a recall vs a customer care issue. I drove to my son's on monday and car loss power a total of 14 times in a 2 hr drive. I was in heavy traffic. Seems to me ford cares more about their bottom line then their customers lives. I was almost hit several times. I have had it in the shop and the alternator replaced 3 times, with them thinking this is the issue one being replaced yesterday after the one before hand only been on their a little over a month. Come to find out ford knows about the issue with their electronic throttles on vehicles from 2002 and up to date. This is very bad business and i had purchased this car due to a accident i was in (no fault to my own) and i have a permanent disability of a messed up sciatic nerve. I was told no issue, boy was i lied to. This needs to be fixed and asap after i have spent so much in repairs already to find out that wasn't even the issue. Ford needs to step up before someone dies over the negligent of the electronic throttle. I would like to hear from ford on what they are going to do about my vehicle. Also the wrench light comes on the engine light when it goes into loss of power. When in traffic, it's hard to get off the road stately when your car looses power.
