Consumer Description
I WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION/DRIVE TRAIN WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. IT STAYED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE TURNING OFF. I BEGAN TO LOOK FOR THE NEXT EXIT TO GET OFF AND TAKE A LOOK. AFTER ANOTHER MILE, THE SAME LIGHT CAME ON, ONLY THIS TIME, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH IT. THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUT OFF AND MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND WOULD BARELY ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED. THE ENGINE ALSO STARTED TO RUN VERY ROUGHLY. I STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST FACILITY, THINKING THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AT THE SHOP, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY HAD BEEN RECALLED ON SEVERAL OTHER MODELS OF FORD VEHICLES AND CALLED THEM. THEY WERE TOLD THAT MINE WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
