Consumer Description

AFTER STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE CAR ONLY ACCELERATED TO 15 MPH ON A BUSY SIX LANE STREET, THE ENGINE THEN DIED AND THE CAR WAS STALLED IN TRAFFIC. UPON TURNING THE IGNITION OFF AND RE-STARTING THE CAR IT PROCEEDED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. SINCE THIS OCCURRENCE THE ENGINE WILL, WITHOUT WARNING, ACCELERATE TO HIGHER SPEED THAN I WANT TO TRAVEL, AND HAS ALSO REPEATED THE LOW SPEED AND EVENTUALLY STALLING ALSO. THE DEALERSHIP REPORTS THE THE THROTTLE BODY HAS FAILED, FORD WILL CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY, BUT WILL NOT REPLACE THE PART. THE DEALERSHIP REPORTS THAT IN 100% OF THE CASES WHEN THE THROTTLE BODY WAS CLEANED AS OPPOSED TO BEING REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY FAILS AND LEAVES THE MOTORIST STRANDED WITH A CAR THAT MUST BE TOWED.
