Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND IT IMMEDIATELY LOST ACCELERATION. AN ALARM ON DASH IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEMS AS ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL FAILURE. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND I WAS LUCKY NO ONE WAS FOLLOWING ME CLOSE. MY WIFE IS NOW SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB ABOUT THIS ISSUE WHICH I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT A RECALL WOULD BE INITIATED BY FORD. I SEARCHED AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. I CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I WAS THE FIRST ONE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I FIND THAT VERY HARD TO BELIEVE WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE READ ON THE WEBSITE. ANYONE ONE WHO READS THIS THAT HAS HAD THE PROBLEM SHOULD CALL FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND COMPLAIN. JUST GO TO FORD.COM AND CLICK ON SUPPORT TO GET THE PHONE NUMBER. *TR
