DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 45 IN HOUSTON, CAR WAS RUNNING, BUT NO POWER FROM THE GAS PEDAL. NEEDED TO COAST TO AN EXIT WHERE I STOPPED COMPLETELY. I NEEDED TO POWER DOWN THE CAR COMPLETELY THEN RESTART THE CAR BEFORE THE GAS PEDAL WORKED AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. THE OTHER TIME WAS ABOUT A MONTH EARLIER. FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS A DEFECTIVE "THROTTLE BODY". SOMETHING LIKE THAT SHOULDN'T FAIL SO EARLY. I WAS JUST OUT OF MY WARRANTY AS WELL. *TR

VISIBILITY
I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HWY AT 70MPH AND HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN BLAST. I LOOKED AROUND AND HEARD WHAT ENDED UP BEING GLASS FALLING INTO MY REAR SEAT. MY REAR PANORAMIC GLASS HAD SHATTERED AND BLOWN UPWARD IN A WAY I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE AND I HAD NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED IT, AS THERE WERE ONLY CLOTHES AND A BOX IN THE REAR SEAT. I TOOK IT TO FORD AND MADE A CLAIM WHICH WAS DENIED. I AM CONFIDENT THIS PROBLEM IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, BUT FORD SAYS THIS BREAKAGE WOULD ONLY HAPPEN UPON INSTALLATION DUE TO USING TEMPERED GLASS. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE NOTHING HIT MINE AND STILL, IT SHATTERED. I ALSO HAVE A LEAKING ROOF, WHICH MAY BE RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR
