VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK FRIDAY, 6/21/13, TRAVELING AT 65MPH AND LOST ALL POWER/ACCELERATION IN CENTER LANE ON FREEWAY. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD TO CROSS TWO LANES OF HEAVY TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER, WHILE LOSING POWER. AN AMBER WRENCH LIGHT WAS ON ALONG WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT. I PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL, AND PUT PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL - NO RPM'S, NO POWER - AT THIS MOMENT THE ENGINE BEGINS TO SPUTTER AND SHAKE AND I CANNOT KEEP THE CAR RUNNING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN, NO DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS, AND THE ENGINE ACTED NORMAL WHEN I PUT PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL. GAS DELIVERY AND RPM'S SEEMED APPROPRIATE. I ENTERED FREEWAY AGAIN AND APPROXIMATELY 1.5 MILES LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. AMBER WRENCH ON AND NO POWER. AGAIN, THE ENGINE IS RUNNING VERY ROUGH AND THEN STALLS. I AM NEAR MY DEALERSHIP, SO IT TAKES TWO MORE ATTEMPTS, BEFORE I MAKE IT THERE. NOW, IT GETS BETTER. I AM INFORMED THAT IT IS MY THROTTLE BODY AND THERE ARE 2000 PARTS ON BACKORDER FROM MICHIGAN. IT COULD BE ONE WEEK, MAYBE WEDNESDAY, 6/26/13, AND I WOULD BE ON A WAITING LIST WITH 8 OTHER PEOPLE. WHAT!!!!! WENT BACK THE NEXT MORNING, SATURDAY, 6/22/13, AND WAS GIVEN AN UPDATE. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT IT COULD BE UP TO TWO WEEKS FOR REPAIR AT OVER $500. I QUICKLY RESEARCH THIS ISSUE, AND FIND MANY OWNERS OF ALL DIFFERENT FORD MODELS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. SOME ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE UNDER WARRANTY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECTIVE PART AND AS A LOYAL CONSUMER TO FORD - THE COMPANY NEEDS TO DO RIGHT BY ITS CUSTOMERS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR SOME OWNERS, BECAUSE A LOT OF US ARE TRAVELING FREEWAYS AND A LOSS OF POWER IN OUR VEHICLES CAN PUT US IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR
