Consumer Description

UPON TAKE OFF FROM A RED LIGHT THE CAR JERKED AND SEEM TO LOSE POWER AND WHILE ACCELERATING ONLY THE RPM NEEDLE WOULD GO UP BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIX IT AS I COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOW 2 MONTHS LATER AND THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED ONLY THIS TIME THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH OTHER DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND NOW THAT IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY THE SERVICE MAN SAYS OVER THE PHONE " I THINK I KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS" REALLY I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN YOUR DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND NOW IT IS THERE AGAIN. IT HAPPENS TO BE THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL IN WHICH FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF FOR YEARS AND THERE WERE SOME RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE BUT I DID NOT RECEIVE ONE. I CONTACTED FORD AND SPOKE TO A REP. AND SHE SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR
