Consumer Description

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN, AT A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN I ACCELERATED, THE CAR FELT AND SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL AND THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT WORK--THEN THE CAR SURGED FORWARD. THE ABS LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS THEN CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY--I HAD IT REPLACED AT A FORD DEALER 3 YEARS AGO, AND NOW IT IS BEING REPLACED AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE 2008, AND I'M ON MY 3RD THROTTLE BODY--THE ORIGINAL ONE, THE ONE REPLACED AT THE FORD DEALER, AND NOW THIS ONE. THE FINANCIAL BURDEN IS STRESSFUL ENOUGH, BUT THEN ADD ON THE FACT THAT, AT ANY TIME, THE THROTTLE CAN FREEZE UP AND STOP WORKING WHICH CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR
