Consumer Description
I HAVE 2013 FORD TAURUS AT SAM GALLOWAY FORD IN FORT MYERS FLORIDA, THEY CALLED ME AND SAID MY E.T.B ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED/REPLACED AND IT WILL COST $750 OUT THE DOOR. I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH FOR CHEAPER COST AND I CAME ACROSS OTHER FORDS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS RECALLED, MADE A FEW CALLS TO FORD AND THEY SAID MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T QUALIFY MY CAR FOR THAT RECALL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, THE CAR WILL LOSE THROTTLE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THIS SEEMS TO ME A ISSUE AND PROBLEM WITH A NUMBER OF FORDS VEHICLES AND JUST BECAUSE MINE DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE VIN, IT'S STILL A FORD AND THE ETB IS A PROBLEM FOR FORD VEHICLES. PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL! ETB IS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED FOR ANY FORD THAT IT HAPPENS TO! THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES TO ME SINCE I HAD THE CAR AND IT'S ONLY BEEN A TWO MONTHS. TO DANGEROUS TO BE ON THE STREETS TO DRIVE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED!
