Consumer Description

AFTER IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR LOST MOST OF ITS POWER WHEN RESUMING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. HAVE HAD MANY SIMILAR ISSUES SINCE THIS INCIDENT WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL LUNGE FORWARD OR BACKWARD BY ITSELF WHEN THE BRAKE IS PARTIALLY DEPRESSED OR THE WHEN THE BRAKE IS FULLY DEPRESSED THE ENGINE REVS UP BY ITSELF. DRIVETRAIN LIGHT CAME ON ONCE WHEN POWER WAS DECREASED AND THEN WENT AWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT PARKED AN OFF FOR AN HOUR. FORD DEALERSHIP HAS DETERMINED THE THROTTLEBODY IS CRACKED. OFFERED TO FIX FOR $900. NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN BECAUSE OF THE STEEP EXPENSE.
