NHTSA Complaint #10905085 — 2007 FORD F-150

WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND SHIFTED INTO "LIMP HOME MODE" WHILE THE WRENCH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS HAPPENED TO ME A FEW YEAR BACK AS WELL SO I IMMEDIATELY ASSUMED IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY OR SENSOR GOING BAD. I BROUGHT INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHO CONFIRMED TO ME IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY THAT WENT OUT. THIS IS NOW THE 3 THROTTLE BODY THAT MY TRUCK HAD HAD (9 YEARS OLD AND 130,000 MILES). AFTER DOING RESEARCH I SAW WHERE FORD HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER MODEL VEHICLES AND INSTEAD OF RECALLING EXTENDED WARRANTIES TO COVER THE COST OF REPLACEMENT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IF IT OCCURS WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC YOU LOSE ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I THINK FORD HAS A MAJOR ISSUE HERE THAT IT IS REFUSING TO ADDRESS.
