NHTSA Complaint #10898089 — 2013 FORD TAURUS

THE WRENCH APPEARED AND MY CAR SHUT DOWN. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAS GOING 65 MILES PER HOUR. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE...I HAD TO TURN IT OFF AND THEN RESTART IT. NOTHING HAPPENED AGAIN FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME 2 TIMES IN A ROW BEFORE IT WOULD RUN. THE DIAGNOSTIC REPORT SAID IT WAS A SENOR. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INSTALLED STE 259 GEAR ASY-STEERING PART INTERCHANGES WITH PART# EG1Z3504GE FOR A FEE OF $1300.00 ON AUGUST 11, 2016. TODAY I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM....THE WRENCH APPEARED AND MY CAR SHUT DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY....IT WOULDN'T RESTART I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. AFTER 3 TRIES IT FINALLY STARTED AND I DROVE IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY RAN ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC REPORT AND FOUND ANOTHER CODE. THE REPORT IS SAYING THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. I AM VERY NERVOUS AND FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR.
