on nov 24,2009, the throttle body motor failed and caused my 2005 ford thunderbird to cut off in traffic. i took the car to metro ford for repair. they said the part would take several weeks. metro said i could drive my car until they repair my car because ford could not provide me with a loaner. i later found out that there are others with the same problem since july 2009. after several promises to no avail, i decided to write several executives. i have not heard from anyone yet. two days ago, i was almost rear-ended when the car off in traffic. the consumer was told the throttle body and motor assembly needed to be replaced. updated 04/16/10
My temperature gauge has risen to hot three times while driving with no prior warning. the first was 12/29/2008. they replaced the motor radiator cooling fan. my mileage at the time was 35673.the 2nd time was 3/17/2009 and they replaced the tank assy-radiator, seal, cap asy radiator, thermostat asy - spo. my mileage this time was 38000.the 3rd time was 9/21/2009, this time they replaced the heater control valve assy. my mileage this time was 42921. each time this occurred, it was shortly after i had my car in for its usual maintenance. of course the dealer denies this has anything to do with my temp gauge rising to hot within weeks after they service the car and the car shutting down.*tr
