Consumer Description

DRIVING ALONG AT 40 MPH AND THE VEHICLE STARTED SLOWING DOWN. GIVING IT MORE GAS HAD NO IMPACT. I NOTICED A WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON DASH. AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW MINUTES THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND RAN FINE . THIS HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER SO WE BROUGHT IT TO OUR REPAIR SHOP. AFTER SOME RESEARCH IT APPEARED THAT OTHERS HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND THAT REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY MAY BE THE ISSUE. THE PART WAS REPLACED AND WE DIDN'T HAVE THE ISSUE FOR MONTHS UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IT'S BEEN A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED. REALLY WORRIED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE THERE IS HIGHER RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT. SURE SEEMS LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS ISSUE. DOES FORD HAVE A SOLUTION FOR THIS?? IF THEY DO THEY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT BADLY. *TR
