Consumer Description

I WILL BE DRIVING ALONG AND THE ENGINE ACTS AS IF IT DIDN'T GET ENOUGH GAS AND AIR MIXTURE SO IT KICKS OUT OF SHIFTING AND JUST SLOWS DOWN THEN IT STARTS HOPPING. IT GIVES ME A SYMBOL ON THE DASHBOARD OF A WRENCH. I LOOKED IT UP AND IT SAYS IT THE THROTTLE BODY. I HAD A MECHANIC COME WITH HIS HANDHELD COMPUTER AND READ THE CODE AND IT SAYS THROTTLE AVIATOR STUCK OPEN, THEN HE ERASES THE COMPUTER CODE ND I AM ABLE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE NEXT TOME IT HAPPENS. WHICH IT HAS HAPPEN EVERYDAY NOW SINCE JUNE 12TH. FORD HAS SAID THAT THE PART IS BEING REVAMPED AND NOT SURE WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE. MY MECHANIC SAID THAT HE HAS REPLACED MANY OF THESE. WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN RECALLED? I HAVE LOSES INCOME BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO BE OUT ON THE ROAD AND HAVE THIS HAPPEN WHEN I'M ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A SEMI BEHIND ME, THEN THEY WILL HAVE A LAW SUIT TO DEAL WITH. *TR
