| 2011 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY WITH SPEED APPROX. 60MPH, ACCELERATOR BECAME INACTIVE, NO ACCELERATION WAS POSSIBLE, THE CAR SEEMED THAT IT HAD DIED. WE MANEUVERED TO THE RIGHT LANE AND THEN PULLED OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER. THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT WORK AGAIN UNTIL WE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED ONCE MORE A WEEK LATER - WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR TO FORD SERVICE WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS LIKELY THE THROTTLE MODULE BUT FORD WOULD NOT REPLACE IT EVEN THOUGH OUR CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY FOR A FEW MORE MONTHS. ON 7/13/2013, WE WERE ON THE FREEWAY AGAIN AT 60MPH APPROX. AND WITHIN A 5MILE STRETCH OF FREEWAY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED 5 TIMES, EACH TIME WE WERE IN HEAVY FREEWAY TRAFFIC. WE WERE ON OUR WAY OUT OF TOWN, BUT TURNED AROUND AND CAME BACK, TAKING A BACK ROAD RATHER THAN THE FREEWAY. *TR |
