Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving on the interstate, the vehicle lost propulsion and required the driver to pull off to the side of the road and restart the vehicle twice in a distance of five (5) miles. After speaking with a service technician at our local Ford dealership, he indicated that the issue is a problem with the throttle body. Apparently, this is an continual issue on this model and I was also informed this part (throttle body) is currently on a national back order. I would think that if this specific part is on a 'national backorder, Ford should issue a recall because it is obvious there is a problem.”
