Consumer Description

WHILE TRAVELING HOME TO PA FROM NC ON VACATION, MY HUSBAND WAS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY WHEN HE LOST ALL USE OF THE GAS PEDAL (IT APPEARED TO HAPPEN AS THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTING GEARS AND THE "WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON). OUR VEHICLE SLOWLY BEGAN LOSING SPEED AND WE HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH CARS TRAVELING 65-70MPH AROUND US. ONCE PULLED OFF, WHILE APPLYING THE BREAK, THE VEHICLE STALLED. HE STARTED THE VEHICLE UP AGAIN WITH A ROUGH START...WE CONTINUED ON OUR WAY. AFTER READING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS, WE ARE UNSURE WHY FORD WOULD NOT ISSUE A RECALL. WE CALLED OUT DEALERSHIP TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN AND WERE TOLD THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ANY ISSUES INVOLVING THE THROTTLE BODY...I HAVE AN APPT FOR MONDAY 8/4. *TR
