Consumer Description

BRAND NEW 2016 FORD EXPLORER WITH ONLY 6779 MILES. UNABLE TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION. NO INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG PRIOR TO THIS. SEVERAL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE NOT ALLOWING ME TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 15 MPH. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, POWER TRAIN LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHT ALL ILLUMINATED. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THROTTLE BODY FAILURE INDICATED AS THE ISSUE. PART WAS BACK ORDERED FOR TWO WEEKS. VERIFIED ONLINE THAT MANY OTHER NEW EXPLORER OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY LIKE SOME.
