Consumer Description

LOST THROTTLE CONTROL, PULLED OVER, TURNED ENGINE OFF, AND RESTARTED TO CORRECT PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENED THREE MORE TIMES OVER FOLLOWING MONTH AT 70MPH ON FREEWAY, 50MPH ON SURFACE STREET AND AN INTERSECTION AT A STOPLIGHT. EXACT SAME BEHAVIOR (LOSS OF ACCELERATOR, TURN ENGINE OFF, RESTART). DEALERSHIP REPLACED THROTTLE BODY. FIVE MONTHS (7,000 MILES) LATER PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION ALMOST RESULTING IN A SERIOUS TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. I TOOK IT BACK TO FORD, THEY PERFORMED TESTS, SAID THEY ALREADY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY WITH THE NEW ONE AND MADE NO REPAIR EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH THE DEFECT. THERE WILL BE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS THAT RESULT FROM THIS DEFECT. *TR
