Consumer Description

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ERROR CODES LEAD TO LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND ENGINE BEING THROTTLED BACK TO APPROX. 10 MPH IN "LIMP HOME MODE". ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT, AND NHTSA HAS STUDIED THE PROBLEM PREVIOUSLY. FORD SAYS MY ETB IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS, AND THAT I NEED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS.
