Consumer Description

I'M GETTING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND A WRENCH SYMBOL ON MY DASHBOARD. WHEN I TAKE IT TO GET CHECKED, IT SAYS 'FAULTY THROTTLE BODY' OR THROTTLE CONTROL ACTUATOR. THIS CAUSES MY FORD FUSION TO GO INTO 'LIMP HOME' MODE. THIS IS A MODE THAT CAUSES THAT CAR TO ACCELERATE NO MORE THAN 20 MILES AN HOUR. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT IT HAPPENS WHEN I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 55-70 MILES AN HOUR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I FEAR FOR MY LIFE. WHEN I CONTACT AUTO CARE CENTERS, THEY ALL TELL ME THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS TO BE HANDLED BY THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. I THINK THAT THIS THROTTLE BODY IS DEFECTIVE AND AFTER SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, I SEE THAT I'M ONE OF MANY FORD OWNERS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. I WOULD LIKE A THEM RECALL THIS DEFECTIVE AUTO PART. I HOPE NO ONE HAS DIED FROM THEIR CAR SUDDENLY GOING INTO 'LIMP HOME' MODE. *TR
