Consumer Description

WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND VEHICLE WENT INTO "LIMP MODE", AND COULD NOT MAINTAIN SPEED ABOVE 20 MPH. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND WAS VERY CONCERNING. I DROVE HOME IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE, WITH HAZARDS ON, ALONG BACK ROADS TO AVOID INTERSTATE SPEEDS. CAR ACTUALLY DROPPED TO LESS THAN 10 MPH WHILE DRIVING UP HILL. TOOK IT TO MY DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD. THEY SAID THAT FORD WOULD NOT COVER THE COSTS, ESTIMATED AT $400.
