Consumer Description

2005 FORD 500 WITH APPROX. 85,000 MILES LURCHES FORWARD OR IN REVERSE WITHOUT PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AFTER PERIOD OF IDLE SUCH AS AT A RED LIGHT OR IN LINE AT A DRIVE THROUGH RESTAURANT. THE LURCH IS SIGNIFICANT, VIOLENT ENOUGH TO MAKE PASSENGER THINK THEY WERE HIT FROM BEHIND. I NARROWLY AVOIDED COLLISIONS WITH CARS IN FRONT OR BEHIND ME. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. PARTS TO REPAIR ARE BACK ORDERED WITH A 2 MONTH WAIT AND A COST OF $500.00. THIS IS NO LONGER COVERED BY WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS DEFECT IS DANGEROUS. *TR
