NHTSA Complaint #11109913 — 2016 FORD EXPEDITION

WHILE DRIVING THE GAS PEDAL GETS STUCK AND IMMEDIATELY LOSES POWER TO ACCELERATE. THE YELLOW CHECK ENGINE WRENCH COMES ON AS THE ENGINE SPUTTERS. YOUR ONLY OPTION IS TO COAST TO A STOP AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. THIS COMES WITH NO WARNING AND IS VERY DANGEROUS AS WE ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED AS WE WERE GOING 40 MPH AND JUST LOST EVERYTHING IN A MOMENTS NOTICE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN 3 MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME WE WERE GOING 35 MPH ACCELERATING AND SHUT DOWN AND HAD TO STOP TRAFFIC TO RESTART. WE HAVE IT SCHEDULED TO GO INTO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. BUT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS AN ISSUE ON SEVERAL FORD VEHICLES WITH A RECALL ON MANY, JUST NOT THIS ONE YET. THE DIAGNOSTIC WAS COMPLETED AT A FORD DEALERSHIP AND IT TURN OUT TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUES WITH FORD CARS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. LOSING CONTROL OF ACCELERATION CAN BE DEADLY DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND STARTED UP AGAIN THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY.
