ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE SIMPLY SHUTS OFF AT ANY TIME AND SHOWS 'ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE'. THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 15 TIMES SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE (USED) IN MARCH 2012 (MOST RECENTLY ON 10/13). I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT. WE REPLACED THE TPS AT A COST OF AROUND $300 AS A POSSIBLE FIX AND THIS WORKED FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS - NOW THE PROBLEM IS BACK AND MY RESEARCH INDICATES WE NEED TO HAVE THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED. THIS WILL COST US AROUND $500 - FOR A TOTAL REPAIR COST OF AROUND $800 - WHICH WE CANNOT AFFORD! FORD HAS LITERALLY $HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS AND MUST RECALL DUE TO THIS ISSUE - THERE IS NO EXCUSE TO ALLOW THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM TO CONTINUE. FORD MOTOR CO. OWES ME $800 DUE TO THEIR POOR ENGINEERING AND UNWILLINGNESS TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE - THEY ARE GREEDY CROOKS. *TR
