Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING APPX 50 MPH AND OUT OF THE BLUE THE CAR BRIEFLY SPUTTERED AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I PRESSED THE GAS BUT COULDN'T ACCELERATE. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. WHEN I CRANKED IT BACK UP EVERYTHING SEEMED TO WORK, AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS OFF. I CALLED MY FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT FROM THE ROADSIDE AND IMMEDIATELY DROVE IT IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, AND THE PART WAS BACK ORDERED. LEFT CAR AT FORD BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE THE CHANCE OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN ON A ROAD OR HIGHWAY WITH NO PLACE TO PULL OFF. BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 09 FROM THIS DEALERSHIP AND HAVE HAD ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE DONE AT THIS DEALERSHIP. NO MECHANICAL ISSUES UNTIL THIS ONE. DRIVING HABITS ARE NORMAL. *TR
