Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND THREE BOYS IN A HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE LIGHT TURN ON AND THE VEHICLE CHOKE AND TURN OFF, THE CAR THAT WAS COMING IN BACK OFF ME NEARLY HIT ME CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THE CAR IN BACK OF ME SWONG TO THE LEFT NEARLY HITTING THE CAR COMING ON THE LEFT AND MY VEHICLE, MY HEART STARTED PUMPING FAST KNOWING WHAT COULD HAD HAPPENED. THIS SITUATION GOT ME THINKING NOT TO THRUST FORD VEHICLES. I CAN'T RISK PUTTING MY FAMILY LIFE IN DANGER BECAUSE OF A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE. THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING ON A TWO AND HALF YEAR OLD CAR. I TOOK IT TO GET DIGNOSTIC TEST AND IT CAME OUT THAT THE THROTTLE BODY AND PULGE VALVE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FORD SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLE IMMIDIATELY.
