Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE ENGINE REVS UP AND LOSSES POWER TO THE TRANSMISSION AS IF IT WAS OUT OF GEAR. IT ALSO HAS HAPPENED AND STANDING, I NEED TO SHUT OFF THE MOTOR AND RESET IT AS TO SPEAK. THE FORD DEALER HAS SAID THAT IT IS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE, BUT I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT DOWN THE HIGHWAY FOR FEAR THAT I MAY BE REAR ENDED. I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE IS A CURRENT INVESTIGATION UNDER WAY FOR THROTTLE BODY FAILURES AND THERE IS A CURRENT NATIONAL BACK ORDER ON THEM. *TR
