Consumer Description

DURING ROUTINE DRIVING MY 2005 FORD FREESTYLE'S WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED LOSING POWER. THE RPM'S WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 2000 OR THE SPEED OF THE AUTOMOBILE ABOVE 30. RESTARTING THE ENGINE DOES ON OCCASION REMOVE THE WARNING LIGHTS COMPLETELY AND THE AUTOMOBILE HAS APPARENTLY NO ILL EFFECTS. AFTER BRINGING THE AUTOMOBILE INTO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY INJECTION AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. ONLY THAT THE PART WAS ON NATIONWIDE BACKORDER UNTIL DECEMBER 7TH 2009. ENCLOSED I GIVEN LINKS TO CAR CARE FORUMS WHERE OWNERS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS.
