Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR, CAME TO A STOP SIGN, STOPPED AND PROCEEDED TO PRESS GAS AND TURN INTO LANE. THE CAR JUMPED FORWARD AND ALMOST STALLED. IT DID NOT STOP RUNNING HOWEVER IT WOULD ONLY MOVE APPROX 1 MPH. JUST ENOUGH TO PULL OF ROAD AND PARK. WHEN I RESTARTED, THE ENGINE WAS SHAKING. WHEN IN LOW GEAR, THE CAR WOULD JUMP FORWARD AND STOP, JUMP FORWARD AND STOP. IN DRIVE, IT WOULD ONLY GO 1 MPH.I TOOK CAR TO FORD AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY POSITION SENSOR AND THAT IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE DRIVE TRAIN/POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AND WOULD COST ME $520. *TR
