Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving at about 65 MPH and the wrench light came on and the car would not accelerate at all if I slowed down. When I slowed down to take a turn the car would still not accelerate. I took it to a Ford dealership which I have an extended warranty on and they indicate it is not included since the part is considered an emissions control part.”
NHTSA complaint #10607568, filed 2014-07, 84,500 miles“I was driving the car about 60 MPH on the highway when I saw a big red triangle on the display saying pull over and stop safely and the car slowed down dramatically. I did that and turned off the engine. I restarted the car. This occurred 8 more times before I got home (15 miles later). When I got home, I noticed that the car's fan was running very high for several minutes. It finally stopped.”
NHTSA complaint #10873748, filed 2016-06, 70,000 miles“Driving on two lane road at night made left turn and lost throttle control of car. Car would drive 20 MPH until I could get off road about one mile. Light came on dashboard to pull of safely. I stopped turned the car to off and restarted, it drove perfectly to dealer about 20 miles. Diagnosed as bad throttle body. This could be a catastrophic problem if happens on inside lane of interstate at highway speeds.”
NHTSA complaint #10537117, filed 2013-08, 38,047 miles“While driving in traffic on a city street while traveling about 30 MPH the check engine light was on and a warning message to stop safely now appeared on the dash. Immediately, the car stopped accelerating. I still had power - lights, radio, heater - but could not accelerate and the car just coasted. I turned the key off and was able to restart the car, the warning was gone and then go about 5 car lengths before getting the warning again. I drove home (about 4 miles) and had to restart, coast and stop about 7 times. …”
NHTSA complaint #10820030, filed 2016-01, 85,000 miles“While driving at 65 MPH yellow wrench light appeared and vehicle lost all power. This was on a busy highway. Pulled over and restarted car. Vehicle operated smoothly. Two days later same issue, now with yellow wrench and check engine light. Vehicle will not accelerate above 30 MPH. I took my vehicle to local auto parts store and pulled codes myself (115) dollars cheaper then the dealership would have done it. Throttle body control failure. This is the same engine that has extended warranty for alot of VIN numbers but my car has this issue amd isnt covered.”
