Consumer Description

CAR STARTED MISFIRING WHILE ACCELERATING ABOUT A MONTH AGO. SOMETIMES THE KICK WAS SO MUCH IT FELT LIKE GETTING REAR ENDED. TWICE (BOTH INCIDENTS WITHIN THE SAME WEEK) THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE. THE FIRST TIME WAS DURING ACCELERATING TO MOVE AROUND A SLOW VEHICLE TO AVOID HITTING IT AND THE SECOND TIME THE CAR WOULD MISFIRE EVERYTIME IT REACHED 65 MPH. I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE CAR WOULDN'T RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. FORD DIAGNOSED IT AS THE THROTTLE BODY BEING STUCK OPEN OR CLOSED. THIS SAME PROBLEM TENDS TO HAPPEN WITH THIS SAME THROTTLE BODY IN A NUMBER OF VEHICLES. *TT
