NHTSA Complaint #10487356 — 2005 FORD F-150

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, MY FORD 2005 F150 KING RANCH SUPERCREW 4X4 ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55-60MPH. ON ALL THREE OCCASIONS, I FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH THE ENGINE DIED AND NO POWER STEERING. IF I HAD NOT BEEN IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND ABLE TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD, THEN AN REAR ENGINE COLLISION WOULD MORE THAN LIKELY OCCURRED IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN OUTER LANE OF A MULTIPLE LANE HIGHWAY. AFTER THE THIRD OCCASION THIS PAST WEEK, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN ROCKWALL, TEXAS WHERE IT COST ME $700.00 TO HAVE THROTTLE BODY/MOTOR ASSEMBLY REPLACED. MY OBD READINGS AT HOME WERE P2104 AND P2112. IF NOT ALREADY, THIS ISSUE IS A FATALLY WAITING TO HAPPEN. LOTS OF CHATTER ON INTERNET OF SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR
