Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2005 FORD EXPEDITION WITH 42K MILES AND I WAS GOING 30 MPH WHEN I LOST THE GAS PEDAL(POWER) TO MY VEHICLE. WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN I PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD. LUCKY I WAS NOT HIT FROM BEHIND DUE TO LOSING POWER TO THE ENGINE. TURNED VEHICLE OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN TURNED BACK ON. NO WARNING LIGHT AND TRUCK RAN FINE. TOOK IT TO LOCAL APPLE FORD DEALER WHO FOR $98 TELLS ME I NEED TO SPEND ANOTHER $600 TO REPLACE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. II HAVE NOTICED FROM VARIOUS INTERNET SITES THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THAT IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. AFTER A LONG DISCUSSION WITH SERVICE MANAGER I DECIDED TO DECLINE THE REPAIR UNTIL I CONTACT FORD AND NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY BOARD. SO FAR, THE TRUCK IS STILL RUNNING FINE, BUT I EXPECT IT IS GOING TO DO THE SAME THING AGAIN. THIS IS SOMETHING FORD AND/OR THE FEDERAL GOV.'T SHOULD RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR
