Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 15 MPH, MY CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WASN'T ON THE GAS. I LOOKED AT MY DASH TO CONFIRM CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON (IT WASN'T) AND NOTICED THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. IF I DIDN'T TOUCH THE GAS OR BRAKE THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE UP TO 30 MPH AND STAY CONSTANT AT THAT SPEED. I RODE THE BRAKES TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER. THEY INSPECTED THE CAR AND DETERMINED THE ISSUE WAS THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR, AND SAID I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE THROTTLE BODY. COST WAS $400 FOR THE PART AND $230 FOR LABOR. THIS WAS NOT COVERED ON THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY I STILL HAVE. *TR
