FOR PAST COUPLE MONTHS HAVE HAD ISSUE WHERE CAR "STALLS"...FEELS AS IF IN NEUTRAL...WILL NOT REV...AFTER BEING STOPPED AT STOP LIGHT. CONCERNING BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARNING AS TO WHEN EVENT WILL OCCUR. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. HAVE BEEN STUCK UNDER MAJOR INTERSECTIONS AND NEARLY RAMMED FROM BEHIND ON EACH OCCASION. WRENCH SYMBOL COMES ON WHEN OCCURS. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT MY ESCAPE NEEDS A NEW THROTTLE BODY. HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY CAR FOR PAST WEEK BECAUSE THE PART IS ON "EMERGENCY BACKORDER" FROM NATIONAL SUPPLIER. I HAVE FILED COMPLAINT WITH FORD AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT A SUPERVISOR WOULD CONTACT ME...HAS BEEN 1 WK AND THEY HAVE NOT CALLED BACK. HAVE CALLED 3 TIMES TOTAL. DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO PAY FOR RENTAL...SO I AM FOOTING THE BILL FOR THAT AT THIS TIME. THIS ISSUE NEEDS INVESTIGATION...IF A PAST IS ON "EMERGENCY BACKORDER" THERE MUST BE A NATIONAL PROBLEM WITH THIS THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE...IT IS DANGEROUS. RECALL THIS PART! FOR ALL THOSE EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM..MAKE SURE TO CALL FORD AND GET A CASE #...CALL: 1-800-241-3673. DO NOT RELY ON DEALERSHIP TO REPORT ISSUE. THE MORE PEOPLE WHO REPORT THE ISSUE, THE MORE LIKELY SOMETHING WILL BE DONE. *TR
