Consumer Description

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HIS NEW 2016 F150 WHEN THE TRUCK LOST POWER AND THE ADVANCETRAC LIGHT CAME ON. HE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY AND WENT FROM 65 MPH - 40 MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. HE HAD TO NAVIGATE TO THE EDGE OF THE HIGHWAY AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT IT WAS THE ACTUATOR THROTTLE BEING STUCK IN THE CLOSED POSITION. THE BODY WAS REPLACED AFTER A WEEK AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT THIS CAN CAUSE A AUTO TO REDUCE SPEED SO QUICKLY. THANKFULLY IT DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE THE DEALERSHIP REPAIR REPORT IN THE TRUCK. WOULD BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE A COPY.
