Consumer Description
ON 6/2/15 WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 70 MPH, CAR STARTED SHAKING, SPEED DROPPED, COULDN'T ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO GET CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD. SHUT CAR OFF. AFTER FEW MINUTES STARTED CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT AT 25 MPH TO GET IT OFF FWY BUT WAS OPERATING IN LOW POWER MODE. DROVE IT TO DEALER IN LOW POWER MODE. THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED AND COVERED UNDER FORD RECALL. NOW ON 8/19/16 THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME ON WAY TO WORK. AGAIN HAD MY HUSBAND FOLLOW ME TO DEALER IN LOW POWER MODE. DEALER COULD NOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM BECAUSE CAR WAS NOT HAVING PROBLEM BY THE TIME THEY GOT AROUND TO IT. THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM SO NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME 1 YEAR AGO SO I FEEL IT IS RELATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH THEY REPLACED UNDER FORDS RECALL, BUT THEY INSIST IT IS NOT THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHICH FORD KNOWS ABOUT IT BECAUSE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THIS ISSUE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE SERIOUSLY HURT FOR THEM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE HAD THIS HAPPEN WITH ANY OTHER CARS I HAVE OWNED OVER THE YEARS.
