NHTSA Complaint #10272517 — 2005 FORD EXPEDITION

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR WHEN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR LOST POWER INSTANTLY AND STALLED. I HAVE 57,000 MILES ON MY CAR. I AM NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM, I FIGURED FORD WOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS FAULTY PART BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERNS. I TRAVEL DAILY WITH 3 CHILDREN AND THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED TO ME TWICE BEFORE I TOOK IT IN TO DEALERSHIP. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME BOTH TIMES. I HAD TO PAY OVER $500 TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED. I CALLED FORD TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN AND THEY BASICALLY DID NOTHING BUT TAKE MY INFORMATION AND THEN TURN THE CALL INTO A SALES EFFORT. THEY ADVISED ME THERE WERE GREAT PROMOTIONS AND REBATES ON NEW VEHICLES RIGHT NOW. LIKE I WOULD WANT TO BUY A FORD AGAIN WHEN THEY HAVE NO REGARD FOR CONSUMER SAFETY!!! *TR
