Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT THE SPEED LIMIT WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STALLED. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND PUT MY HAZARDS ON SO I DIDN'T GET HIT FROM BEHIND OR CAUSE A DANGEROUS ACCIDENT TO THE OTHER MOTORISTS. I TURNED OFF THE CAR, LEFT THE HAZARDS ON AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES BEFORE STARTING IT UP AGAIN. IT STARTED THANKFULLY AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT SAFELY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. EVENTUALLY SOMEONE WAS ABLE TO COME AND HELP ME GET MY CAR HOME. WE BELIEVE THAT THE INCIDENT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY, AND THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. FORD SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS PROBLEM AND PAY FOR THEIR FAULTY PARTS. THIS CAR IS A 2005 FORD MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE WITH A V6 ENGINE. *TR
