Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK WE LOSE ACCELERATION AND PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL DOES NOTHING. THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW 4 TIMES. THE IDLE SITS BETWEEN 800 & 1100 RPMS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT PINE LAKE FORD IN LAPORTE, INDIANA AND THEY SAID THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $383. OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY JUST RAN OUT AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECALL PROBLEM WHEN I INVESTIGATED IT. WE ARE AFRAID THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT GIVEN THE FACT MOST OF OUR DRIVING IS HIGHWAY DRIVING. WHY ISN'T FORD OWNING UP TO THIS PROBLEM AND RECALL THIS PART? DOES SOMEONE NEED TO BE HURT OR BE KILLED BEFORE FORD TAKES ACTION? *TR
