Consumer Description

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THERE IS NOTHING. THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING BUT GIVING IT GAS WILL NOT HELP IT TO MOVE. I PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND PULL OFF ROAD. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART. THIS WORKS BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. NOW IT JUST SHUTS DOWN SPORADICALLY. I CANNOT BE SURE WHEN OR WHERE IT WILL HAPPEN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (TOWN AND COUNTRY FORD) AND I AM WAITING FOR A REPLACEMENT THROTTLE BODY. I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY WHERE I HAVE MY LOAN AND THEY SAID EVEN IF THE PART IS DEFECTIVE IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTIES. *TR
