Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2005 FORD 500 IN 2010 FROM FREEWAY FORD IN BLOOMINGTON, MN. THE FIRST INCIDENT THAT I HAD WAS WHEN MY BOYFRIEND WAS DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 70 MPH WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN MY VEHICLE WENT INTO ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE AND LOST ACCELERATION. WITH SPEEDS OF 70 MPH AND 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC WE ARE LUCKY THAT NOTHING WORSE FOLLOWED. THIS PROBLEM WOULD COME UP AGAIN AT RANDOM TIMES. A MORE RECENT INCIDENT WAS I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY AND RESET THE MODULE. SINCE THAT WAS TAKEN CARE OF MY CAR HAS NOW WORSENED. IT HAS GONE INTO FAIL SAFE MODE 5 TIMES IN ONE MONTH. MY CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE NORMAL AND WHEN I START IT THERE ARE TIMES WHERE MY RPM ARE RUNNING HIGHER THAN NORMAL. *TR
