DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE STOP THROTTLE AND SHOW THE WRENCH INDICATOR LIGHT. FIRST EXPERIENCE WAS MY WIFE THAT IS NOW PREGNANT. WE STOP USING THE CAR UNTIL I COULD BRING IT TO THE DEALER, AND IT ALSO BROKE DOWN WHILE COMING HERE. FORD SAYS IT IS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE DEVICE AND THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT $470+TAX. THIS WAS PURCHASED HERE AS A CERTIFIED FORD AND FORD DOES NOT COVER IT EVEN IF IT IS A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT, ESPECIALLY IN THE HIGHWAY OR IF PASSING ANOTHER CAR IN A TWO LANE ROAD. FORD SHOULD RECALL ALL CARS WITH THIS ELECTRONIC DEVICE ASAP AND PAY ME FOR THIS EXPENSE. I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT NOW BECAUSE THE CAR EVEN THOUGH IT STARTS IT WILL BREAK DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR NO REASON. AGAIN THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT AND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS SEEMS TO INDICATE THE SAME. *TR

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING THE FREEWAY THE ENGINE LOSS POWER, THE YELLOW 'WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TRIED TO REV THE ENGINE, NO POWER BUT THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING WITH A ROUGH IDLE. I TURNED OFF THE CAR WAITED 3-4 MIN IT STARTED RIGHT UP I CONTINUED ON MY WAY THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES THRU-OUT THE MONTHS OF SEPT., OCT AND THE FIRST WEEK OF NOV.. NEAR THE 15 OF OCT WAS THE WORST, WHILE TRAVELING HOME THE CAR STOPPED SEVERAL TIMES, THIS TIME BOTH SERVICE AND WRENCH LIGHTS CAME ON AND I LIMPED HOME, STOPPING/ RESTARTING EVERY BLOCK. ON REACHING HOME, I PARKED THE CAR AND THERE SHE STAYED TILL ABOUT NOV, 1ST, WHEN I STARTED HER UP TO KEEP THE BATTERY TOP OFF, WHEN SHE STARTED NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON. OHH, I HAVE THE SINC SYSTEM WHICH OFFERS A VEHICLE REPORT AND SAID ITS WAS CAUSED BY THE THROTTLE CONTROL UNIT, I'VE REPLACED THE CONTROL UNIT TODAY (11/06/2013) AND HOPE THIS FIXES THE PROBLEM. *TR
