Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY FOCUS SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND SPEED DESPITE MY FOOT REMAINING ON THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER SUDDENLY AND NARROWLY MISSED BEING HIT BY A SEMI. THE CAR WOULD NOT START BACK UP IMMEDIATELY AND A CHECK ENGINE / WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED. I LOST POWER SEVERAL MORE TIMES ON MY DRIVE TO WORK. IT WAS A NIGHTMARE. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 55 ANYMORE UNTIL FIXED. IT TURNED OUT THAT THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY WENT ON THE CAR. IT COST $700 TO FIX THE ISSUE DESPITE THE CAR HAVING ONLY 38,000 MILES. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD NOT OCCUR ON A CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM! *TR
