Consumer Description

ON 4 OCCASIONS THIS SUMMER I HAD MY ENGINE SURGE WHILE I WAS MANEUVERING IN A PARKING LOT. THE ENGINE RACED AND LUCKILY I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE EACH TIME SO I WAS ABLE TO AVOID SMACKING INTO SOMETHING. ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS THE ENGINE LOST CONSIDERABLE POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THE YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN RESTARTED IT. AT RESTART THE VEHICLE RAN NORMALLY AGAIN. I'M TOLD THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE PROBABLY NEEDS A NEW THROTTLE BODY BUT THE PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER. *TR
