Consumer Description

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A RATE OF 70 MPH WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND AND AHEAD OF ME, I LOST POWER AND THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE. THE WRENCH LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. I COULD NO LONGER SPEED UP AND BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED (RATHER QUICKLY I MIGHT ADD) THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BEHIND ME CAME VERY CLOSE TO COLLIDING WITH ME! I COULDN'T GO FASTER THAN 30 MPH AND HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WHEN I TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON, IT TOOK AN ODDLY LONGER AMOUNT OF TIME TO TURN ON. (LIKE HOLDING THE KEY TURNED IN THE IGNITION) THEN SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, WHEN I STARTED TO GO WHEN IT TURNED GREEN, I WAS GOING 5 MPH AND THE RPM'S SHOT UP TO 3000 RPM! UNDER 40 MPH, IT WAS UP NEAR 3000 RPM! FORD, PLEASE EXAMINE THIS AGAIN! THIS IS DANGEROUS! WHY WAIT UNTIL AN ACCIDENT ACTUALLY HAPPENS? *TR
