Consumer Description
THE FIRST TIME THE INCIDENT OCCURRED I WAS RIDING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND JUST OUT OF NO WHERE THE CAR CUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING....IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC!!! THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE AT OREILYS AND THE CODE P1121 (OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT) INDICATED THAT THE THROTTLE CONTROL WAS STUCK OPEN. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR ON WITHOUT INCIDENT. IT HAS CUT OFF SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN WITHOUT WARNING, BUT I CONTINUE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THIS IS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION. IT IS TOTALLY UNPREDICTABLE AND DANGEROUS!!! AFTER TALKING TO OTHER FORD OWNERS AND DOING MY RESEARCH ONLINE I SEE THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. THIS IS UNSAFE AND THE PART SHOULD BE RECALLED!!!! I HAVE CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND MAKE SURE THAT I AM VERY CAUTIOUS AND I TRY NOT TO GO OVER 60MPH, BUT AFTER IT HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY IN A VERY COMPROMISING SCENARIO... I'M GOING TO HAVE TO BUCKLE DOWN AND GET IT FIXED.$$$$$$$$$$ I WILL NEVER BUY A FORD AGAIN! *LN
