Consumer Description

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS MY CAR HAS BEEN GOING INTO "FAILSAFE ENGINE MODE" (BASICALLY STALLING) WHILE EXCELLERATING ON HIGHWAY OR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. ACCORDING TO OTHERS ONLINE THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS COMMON WITH A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE "FIX" FORD PROVIDED IN THEIR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM, HOWEVER LIKE MANY OTHERS THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO STAND BY THERE PRODUCTS. I CAN NOT EXPRESS TO YOU HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS TO BE GOING HIGHWAY SPEED AND TO HAVE YOUR CAR STALL!!
