NHTSA Complaint #10870159 — 2016 FORD EXPLORER

AT 70 MPH ON I-4, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FAILED, DROPPING THE ENGINE TO IDLE SPEED. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT COME OUT OF IDLE, AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE PART FAILED AT 6,300 MILES, LESS THAN 2,000 MILES AFTER THE CAR'S FIRST DEALERSHIP SERVICING. HAD I NOT BEEN IN THE SLOW LANE AT THE TIME, I WOULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF I-4, AND POSSIBLY KILLED.
