Consumer Description

DRIVING AND GAS PEDAL LOST ALL POWER. PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD, ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN ABOUT 700/800 RPM. I NOTICED THE WRENCH SYMBOL WAS LIT IN DASHBOARD SO I TURNED OFF A/C OPENED ALL WINDOWS & SHUT OFF ENGINE. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS OR SO, I RE-STARTED THE CAR & DROVE BACK HOME (APPROX. 35 MILES) . THE FOLLOWING DAY I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALER & EXPLAINED MY PROBLEM. DEALER SAID THIS WAS PROBABLY A THROTTLE CONTROL / POWERTRAIN PROBLEM. THEY OFFERED ME SOME SUGGESTIONS TO HELP WITH THIS TROUBLE, WHICH I HAVE DONE. AS OF TODAY 7/25/2013 VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE RUNNING FINE. I HOPE THIS GETS RESOLVED BECAUSE I REALLY LIKE THIS VEHICLE. *TR
