I purchased my car 7/31/2012 with 113,000 miles. i received notification of a recall for the rpm surge in 2013. concerned, i took my car to the dealership and was told since i didn't have any problems and hadn't reached the 150,000 mile limit, then i didnt need to worry about repairs for the time being. i then asked what would happen if i surpassed the mile limit and the problem surfaced. the mechanic informed me that as long as a recall ever existed, then ford would always be responsible for the repairs. not satisfied with that response, (because there would not be a 10 yr /150,000 limit in the letter) i questioned the manager who confirmed the tech's answer. in 2014 i relocated to lancaster ca. i too have had numerous dangerous close calls with the sudden acceleration while breaking; one being in a school parking lot in high temperatures. i took my car to the dealership 5/2016 and just as expected, they wont repair my car without cost. this is wrong and very dangerous and hopefully you guys will decide to do something about this for the many people still experiencing problems.
Engine shut off while driving. fault code indicates throttle control problem, but car drives normally after restarting. when will it shut off again? is it safe to drive to the ford dealer? *tr
When i first start my car its slow to give power, often when i drive it on the street it'll just lose complete power and die down. then i have to restart itfor it to temporarily go away then it happens again. *tr
Vehicle was stalling out finally quit, had it towed to a ford dealer, was advise that the throttlebody had shorted out. they say it is not covered under the warranty. the engine was replace by the ford dealership due to a manufacture defect 6 years ago. the vehicle has less that 50,000 miles on. what estimate cost of repairing is $970.00. we have an extended warranty coverage. but i think for should fix it without charge. *tr
