“Accelerator stopped working. Wrench warning light lit. (engine remained running; AC remained on). After stopping the car, we re-started it. It ran ok for about 1.5 miles, then the same problem occurred. (we were in motion, on a back road, not turning,braking etc. Speed of vehicle was about 50 MPH. It is a safety hazard as the road is somewhat curvy and hilly, with few places to safely move off the road after the vehicle stopped working).”

“Depression of accelerator pedal had no effect on engine speed while traveling on telegraph rd. In southfield, mi. I limped the car to avis Ford, also in southfield, where the service advisor told me that he believed there was a malfunction of the throttle body which couples the accelerator pedal to the engine throttle. That was later confirmed by avis Ford and avis Ford took out the old throttle body and installed a new throttle body having serial # at4z 9e926 b (fp).”

“While driving in north carolina at 55 MPH on a single lane road between goldsboro and greenville nc, I experienced a sudden loss of engine power and the accelerator pedal became totally unresponsive. The car slowed down to a speed compatible with the idling RPM of the car. I had to pull on to the EDGE of the road. Once I had turned the car off for a few moments and restarted , the accelerator control returned . Very dangerous and lucky this did not happen whilst on a freeway or overtaking.”
