Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING ON A BUSY 4 LANE ROAD, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST FUEL POWER AND BEGAN CREEPING DOWN THE ROAD AT LESS THAN 5 KM/H THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS FLASHING AND IT WAS A FEW HUNDRED METERS TO THE NEAREST SIDE STREET, FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE STREET WITHOUT GETTING STRUCK BY TRAFFIC MOVING 60 KM/H FASTER THAN I WAS, I THOUGHT THAT THE COMPUTER MAY HAVE HAD A ONE TIME FAILURE BUT THIS HAPPENED AGAIN 3 DAYS AFTER WITH MY YOUNG SON IN THE BACK SEAT. THAT WAS MONDAY OCT 14 2013, I AM SUPER MAD AT FORD FOR NOT RECALLING THIS THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM ALREADY IT SEEMS LIKE A CONSTANT POINT OF FAILURE AND IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THESE CARS WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING. *TR
