NHTSA Complaint #10861435 — 2016 FORD EXPLORER

AS THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN, THE "WRENCH" LIGHT IN CLUSTER PANEL CAME ON AND VEHICLE WENT INTO "LIMP MODE". AFTER INITIAL INCIDENT, THE CAR RESTARTED BACK IN NORMAL MODE. HOWEVER, THE SAME INCIDENT BEGAN TO OCCUR SEVERAL TIMES PER DAY UNTIL THE VEHICLE COULD BE TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 6,850 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK NOW AND STILL CAN'T TELL ME WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE TO GET VEHICLE BACK ON THE ROAD. FORD HAS HAD AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THROTTLE BODIES FOR YEARS, WHY CAN'T THEY FIX THE PROBLEM?
