Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2005 FORD FIVE HUNDRED WITH 68K MILES. I WAS LEAVING A REST AREA AND ACCELERATING ONTO THE INTERSTATE. MY CAR SHUDDERED AND HAD NO POWER. I NOTICED THE ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE LIGHT. I WENT TO THE SHOULDER AND STOPPED THE CAR. I WAITED A MINUTE AND RESTARTED THE CAR. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS IS REPEAT OF SYMPTOMS I HAD TWO WEEKS AGO. THE FORD DEALER REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY TWO WEEKS AGO. AT THAT TIME, I WAS IN LINE AT MY GRANDSON'S SCHOOL. SAME SYMPTOMS EXCEPT THAT THE CAR SHUDDERED AND THEN ACCELERATED. FORTUNATELY, I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS, I HAVE HAD REPEATED ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODES, BUT HAVE ALWAYS RESET WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES. FORD HAS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. MINE HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. CAR IS IN THE SHOP FOR THE THIRD TIME FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
