| Description of the problem | While on the freeway my car started to loose power. I would push on the gas and the car would not accelerate. Since the first time this has happened on numerous occasions. And have taken it to many mechanics which finds out nothing is wrong of course. Finally i find out this is a throttle position sensor made by ford. And there has been many ford cars and parts experiencing this same thing. This is definitely a safety hazard so why has for not recalled this? Do people have to start dying before they do something? |
