Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2004 FORD THUNDERBIRD. FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THE PAST 8 MONTHS, MY CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. ON A 50 MILE AN HOUR ROAD, MY CAR SUDDENLY DROPPED TO 20 MPH. I IMMEDIATELY ACTIVATED MY HAZARD LIGHTS, BUT CAME VERY CLOSE TO GETTING REAR ENDED. THE THROTTLE BODIES ON THESE CARS EVIDENTLY GO OUT AN ALARMING RATE. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME I HAVE NARROWLY AVOIDED BEING IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAD THE PROBLEM ADDRESSED ONCE ALREADY, AND NOW IT IS HAPPENING ALL OVER AGAIN. *TR
