Continuing phone call ref.# 326373:(did not have all information in front of me to continue). 12/12/2019 took car to firestone tire and automotive and wanted them to check my brakes because something was not right with them. The put new brakes and rotors on front and back. Problem was car was hesitant in stopping, then would "grab." while driving, if I had to use brakes, car would not immediately resume speed after brakes released. Rpm's go way up, mpg drops to "0," then car accelerates. It is very hesitant in picking speed back up. Twice I took car to shop to have them check it out.(4/13/20 and 9/1/20) could not find anything. No problem came up on computer. No engine light. I believe recall #19s54/the federal safety agency 19v‑904 responsible. Received recall notice january 2020. I have called local ford dealership to see if parts available to fix and was told (also on website) they would be available probably last part of first quarter of 2020. Now last part of third quarter and no parts. Afraid car will "stall" in traffic and cause accident.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed that the throttle body was defective and needed to be replaced. The contact spoke with gosch ford hemet (150 carriage cir, hemet, ca 92545, 951‑396‑7250) and was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The contact informed the dealer that she discovered manufacturer recall number: 13n03, which was a free repair ford offered its customers with defective throttle bodies. The dealer informed the contact that they were unaware of the recall and referred her to the manufacturer.

The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 126,000.
Started car for a drive after oil change/ disconnect battery for terminal cleaning and reconnect. Upon acceleration, could not get car to shift unless let off gas. Shifts hard, did not shift 3 and 4 gear until acceleration of at least 55 MPH, then 70 in 4th gear. On highway seemed to want to slow down. Upon parking, let it idle. Car flashed engine light, wrench and curvy road. Idling was rough, as if vacuum was not working. Turned car off and then on. Wrench disappeared and curvy road but engine light on. Checked codes. Only threw one code not related to problem. Unable to drive this way. So many complaints but no recalls. Never buying a ford again. Looks like time for foreign car.
