Consumer Description

NOT SURE THE EXACT TIME BUT WITHIN THE PAST YEAR OR SO MY 2005 FORD FIVE HUNDRED ( PURCHASED NEW) IS GOING INTO FAILSAFE MODE LIMITED THROTTLE POWER, VERY SPORADIC AT FIRST BUT NOW HAPPENING QUITE OFTEN. IF YOU PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT CLEARS AND DRIVES NORMAL. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IT YESTERDAY AND IT HAPPENED 7 TIMES FROM MALL TO THE HOUSE (ABOUT 20 MILES). ONCE WHILE SHE WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC DRIVING ABOUT 55 MPH. CAR JERKED THEN STARTED SLOWING DOWN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. VERY DANGEROUS. MY MECHANIC IS TROUBLE SHOOTING PROBLEM, LOOKING LIKE THROTTLE BODY OR GAS PEDAL. I BELIEVE FORD CAME OUT WITH A NEW THROTTLE BODY IN 2010 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM (TSB 05-25-13)BUT WILL ONLY REPLACE IT AT THEIR COST IF STILL UNDER WARRANTY, OTHERWISE THE COST IS ON US THE CONSUMER. (ABOUT A THOUSAND DOLLARS). *TR
