Consumer Description

SIMILAR TO MAN OF THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE; IT ENDED UP BEING THE THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. MY MOTHER-IN-LAW WAS DRIVING AND IT SUDDENLY WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. A CAR ALMOST REAR-ENDED HER. SHE WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SHE NOTICED THAT THE "WRENCH" LIGHT WAS ON. SHE STARTED IT UP AND "LIMPED" TO THE FORD DEALER. ABOUT $700 LATER, THE THROTTLE BODY WAS CHANGED. THERE IS ONLY 30,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND SHE BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. SHE IS QUITE UPSET ABOUT HAVING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, AND I DON'T BLAME HER. THIS SHOULD BE PART OF THE POWER TRAIN, OR UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE THAT WAS APPLIED TO SOME OF THE OTHER FORD AND MERCURY VEHICLES THAT HAD THE SAME THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. HOW MANY INCIDENTS OR COMPLAINTS DOES IT NEED TO TAKE TO HAVE FORD APPLY THE SAME COVERAGE TO THE FOCUS? DO THEY HAVE TO WAIT TILL PEOPLE GET BADLY HURT? THIS IS RIDICULOUS. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF IT. *TR
