Consumer Description

WHILE TRAVELING ON OHIO ROUTE 306, THE CAR LOST ALL THROTTLE POWER ABRUPTLY, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE THROTTLE BODY, I WENT FROM 45 TO ZERO ON AN INCLINE WITH MANY CARS BEHIND ME HONKING. I RESTARTED THE CAR BUT WHILE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING I HAD NO THROTTLE POWER AT ALL. FORD DOES NOT SEE A PROBLEM HERE AND SAID IT IS NOT A MAJOR ISSUE. HAD MY DAUGHTER BEEN DRIVING AND THIS HAPPENED TO HER, I WOULD HAVE BEEN CONCERNED FOR HER SAFETY WITH THE HEAVY TRAFFIC AND DANGEROUS CONDITIONS GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THOUGH I WAS NOT AS CONCERNED FOR MYSELF, THE FAILURE PUT ME IN AN EXTREMELY VULNERABLE AND DANGEROUS STATE. *TR
