Consumer Description

ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC AND THE TECH'S FROM A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP THE PROBLEM STEMS FROM A FAULTY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY WHICH IS CONTROLLED BY THE ONBOARD COMPUTER SYSTEM (ENGINE CONTROL MODULE). THE FAULT PROMPTS THE CAR TO GO INTO A "LIMP HOME" MODE OR REDUCED POWER MODE WHICH IN TURN CAUSES THE CAR TO ACT AS THOUGH IT'S RUNNING OUT OF GAS. FROM A DRIVING PERSPECTIVE, IT HAS PUT ME IN A FEW PRECARIOUS TRAFFIC SITUATIONS. *TR
