Consumer Description

I AM YET AGAIN HAVING THROTTLE BODY PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE. IN DECEMBER 2012, FORD ISSUES A STATEMENT TO CUSTOMERS TELLIN US TO GO HAVE THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANED, BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT PUT A TEMPORARY BANDAIDE ON THE REAL PROBLEM THAT FORD DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE OWNERSHIP FOR. EVEN AFTER I HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED AND REPROGRAMMED, IT STILL IDLES HIGH AND JERKS. TODAY THE CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER A 45MIN NONSTOP HWY TRIP, I CUT THE ENGINE OFF ONCE I REACHED MY DESTINATION FOR ABOUT 25 MINUTES, AFTER WHICH I TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT FAILED. AFTER 5 MINS, THE CAR STARTED, LUCKILY I MADE IT HOME, NO LIGHTS ON DASH!!! I FOUND OUT IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY THE FIRST TIME IT WOULDN'T START, NOW AFTER A THROTTLE CLEANING!!, I AM STILL HAVING ALL THE VERY SAME ISSUES. SO UNSAFE AND UNPREDICTABLE....I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR YET AGAIN OUT OF FEAR OF BEING STRANDED WITH MY CHILDREN. *TR
