Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE ENGINE WILL GO INTO A VERY VIOLENT IDLE AND THE THROTTLE WILL BECOME UN-RESPONSIVE AND AN ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT WILL COME ON THE DASH. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW IN A WEEK AND IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAPPENS. YOU HAVE TO TRY AND NAVIGATE THROUGH TRAFFIC TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY WHILE COASTING ONLY SINCE YOU CAN'T GIVE IT ANY GAS. FORD HAS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE SINCE ITS EVERYWHERE ONLINE AND EVERYWHERE ON THIS WEBSITE. IT IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. FORD WON'T FIX IT UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH ITS A CRITICAL PART OF MAKING THE VEHICLE GO. *TR
