| 2004 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | LINCOLN LS 2004 - THROTTLE BODY FAILURE - ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE - NO PARTS AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE FROM OCTOBER 2009 UNTIL PRESENT DATE MARCH 4, 2010 - UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND CAR REMAINS AT DEALERSHIP WITH NO DATE FROM FORD FOR REPLACEMENT AS APPARENTLY THEY ARE TRYING TO RE-ENGINEER AND FIX WHATEVER IS THE PROBLEM. AFTER LOOKING ON INTERNET THIS IS APPARENTLY A PROBLEM THAT IS RUNNING THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FORD LINE. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS IN COMPLETE CONTRAST TO THE PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA IS HAVING IN THAT WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN TO 20 TO 30 MILES PER HOUR LEAVING YOU VULNERABLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND UNABLE TO WARN ANYONE DRIVING BEHIND YOU THAT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM THAT YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THROTTLE. MANY OWNERS REPORT CARS JUMP FORWARD OR REVERSE WITHOUT WARNING. *TR |
