THIS VEHICLE IS DRIVEN BY MY SON WHILE HE IS AT COLLEGE. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD APPROXIMATELY 8 INSTANCES IN THE PAST 6-9 MONTHS (7 OF THOSE IN THE PAST MONTH DURING A ONE WEEK TIME PERIOD) IN WHICH THE VEHICLE HAS LOST A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF POWER AND SPEED WHICH HAS REQUIRED HIM TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY FOR HIS SAFETY. ONCE OFF THE HIGHWAY, HE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON WHICH CLEARED THE PROBLEM. AT THE TIME OF THESE ISSUES, THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 38,000 MILES AND WAS 2 1/4 YEARS OLD. HE SUBSEQUENTLY TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE, SEVERAL DAYS AFTER THE WEEK IN WHICH HE HAD 7 SEPARATE INCIDENTS, AND THE FORD DEALER REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. THERE APPEARS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT BODY OF KNOWLEDGE THAT INDICATES FORD HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ON LATE-MODEL ESCAPES. FORD SHOULD, AT A MINIMUM, ACKNOWLEDGE THIS SAFETY CONCERN, AND ALSO MAKE REPAIRS AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER, TO MITIGATE THIS PROBLEM. *TR
