Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN I HEARD A CLICK FROM THE CAR ENGINE. ACCELERATION GRADUALLY DECLINED. THE GAS PEDDLE DID NOT RESPOND. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. AS I WAS SLOWING TO PARK, TO TURN OFF THE CAR, THE CAR SURGED SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR, WITH A HESITATED START AND GET HOME. THIS HAPPENED 5 TIMES OVER A TWO WEEK PERIOD OF TIME. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE ELECTRICAL THROTTLE BODY REPLACED. THIS CORRECTED THE ISSUE. *TR
