“The traction control light comes on all the time. When you take off the car is gutless no power. Until you hit traction control off. Sometimes does it after. Bit. Someone almost hit me pulling out from the gas station last night again, due to no power! It also messes with the shifting due to the traction control ive put everything into my car. This is a huge problem due to the fact it can mess with the transmission and engine throwing off the timing. This should be recalled, ive seen many people complaining about the exact samething. …”
NHTSA complaint #11375706, filed 2020-11, 144,235 miles“The car has 82,000 miles on it. The throttle position sensor seems to be acting up. After researching this issue on the net, it appears this has been an issue since 04 with fords. In addition, they are on the 3rd generation sensor. I was driving normal speeds, then the warning light came on, killing the power to the engine, put me in a precarious situation on a 45 50 mile an hr road. Since this known issue since 04, seems like ford should replace this. It's a 20 dollar part, retail, but with this motor, you have to buy a totally rebuilt throttle body for 200+. …”
NHTSA complaint #11390861, filed 2021-01, 82,000 miles“The problem is re-occurring. When the weather goes below freezing ice builds up around the electronic throttle body. The car will start and as the engine starts to heat up the ice starts to break up. As soon as I have taken the car past 25mph and I let off the gas the engine starts to stall out sending an error signal to the computer and the wrench light comes on. I must say that the problem is very random and does not always occur. I have learned from experience that I must pull over and turn off the car. …”
