Hi. The recall ford had on the throttle body issues back in 2013 when I got mine fixed. Now 40 thousands miles later the car almost lunge into traffic at a red light 2 times. Well the car is having the same problem as before I got the throttle body fixed. I called ford in cabot and they wanted over 200.00 hundred dollars to run a diagnostic and to clean the throttle. I thought this was a fixed issue and it is not. Ford in cabot told me it will have to be clean or the unit has to be replaced and that is around 500 dollars. What a scam they are pulling. This needs to be dealt with asap. I have to spend 100 dollars to have it cleaned scam. While the car is in motion. It has loss of power and runs bad.

Upon driving on the freeway, my vehicle suddenly has a loss of power and the instrument panel shows both a check engine , and wrench light. I either have to pull over to restart the vehicle or put the vehicle in neutral, and restart the car as it is rolling. This is an everyday occurance for a little over a year. The dealership mechanic said there has been many complaints attributed to the throttle body sensor; therefore, a recall of that part should the thing to come! Unfortunately, it never happened.

When you slow the car will quit and when you drive it on the open road you lose power no indication that anything is going to happen. No tool light comes on to indicate the problem. Two years ago it started quitting on me and when you restart it starts right back up. On one occasion I tried to start it and it began to smoke and wouldn't start. Had to have it towed to a ford dealership where they replaced a modular in the transmission and it still wouldn't start charged $1500.00 had it towed to another mechanic where they replaced the climate control because the wiring had burned still continued to quit no one can tell me what the problem is complaints to ford are the same from many owners ford refused to do recall. Some one is going to get killed when the car quits in traffic . Ford has discontinued the transmission because it is faulty how can they build a lemon and not stand behind it.
