“Driving up an on ramp to an interstate highway, the car would not react to increased depression of the throttle pedal. Tool indicator warning light illuminated on the dash. I barely was able to pull off to the berm, almost rear-ended. This has happened numerous times since first occurrence on 6/11/15-6/12/15 and appears to occur only when I have the air conditioning on. Very dangerous situation!”
NHTSA complaint #10724880, filed 2015-06, 52,960 miles“This happened once several weeks ago with my wife operating the car and newborn in the back. I wasn't in the car so I did not witness the problem. Over the past two days I have experienced the problem first hand several times. Car stops accelerating during normal operation. The check engine light comes on, the accelerator stops working and car begins to idle erratically. The engine does not shut off. …”
NHTSA complaint #10537550, filed 2013-08, 54,000 miles“Driving at highway speed, I lost the ability to use the throttle. The engine ran, but did not respond to the pedal. I was forced to pull the car over, in traffic, and restart the car. Once the car was restarted, I was able to accelerate.”
NHTSA complaint #10537974, filed 2013-08, 40,000 miles“I was driving on the interstate when the car suddenly stopped accelerating. A wrench appeared on the dashboard. I had to brake to a stop along the side of the interstate. I restarted the car and it seemed to work fine. This was wednesday. The same thing happened again on friday and then again on monday. At that point I took it to the ford service center. They had to replace the throttle body, costing me over $430. Additionally, had any of the roads been busier or had no places to pull over, an accident easily could have occurred.”
NHTSA complaint #10533275, filed 2013-08, 48,300 miles“Driving down a busy road and car went into limp mode, gas pedal not responding. Almost got rearended because the car slowed down and I had my 8 month old granddaughter in the vehicle. Took it to autozone and they ran a diagnostic said it was the electronic throttle sensor problem. Read online where this is a recurrent thing going on but no recall yet. What is it going to take someone or alot of people dying for this to be recalled? I am on disability and it better be covered under extended warranty or warranty since ford knows this is an ongoing problem.”
