NHTSA complaint #11144274, filed 2018-10, 20,000 miles“Got off the freeway, stopped at the stop sign proceeded to turn left, just as I was entering the intersection truck lost power and went into limp mode and would hardly move. I was barely able to get out of the way of an approaching semi tractor trailer before he went flying by. I was told later by the Ford dealer that the problem was the throttle body, the same throttle body that Ford replaced 1 yr and 4 months earlier. …”
NHTSA complaint #11171501, filed 2019-01, 78,000 miles“My son and I purchased a Ford f150 at the same time, and he now has 60k miles, and his auto throttle body went out in traffic, and was close to causing an accident. Ford charged him about $500 to replace it, he told them this should of been a recall, for they have known about this , and they said that this was now a safety issue. Where in the world do they come off saying that. I would like to get them to replace mine before that happens to me, especially while passing another car. What can I do.”
