Example complaints

“Normal driving in 55 MPH zone car suddenly would not accelerate past 40 MPH. Noticed wrench light illuminated. Turned car around and proceeded toward home. Engine revved at stopping but could not get out of way of fast traffic. Almost hit in rear several times. Flasher emergency lights necessary. Googled issue to see that it is a defect and NHTSA has decided to let Ford handle resolution. Fox in charge of the hen house again. Thanks again to another government consumer protection agency that will not protect us. …”

The dealer cleaned the throttle body, and said everything was good. …”
