MY WIFE AND BABY WERE TRAVELING DOWN THE 405 FREEWAY AT 70MPH WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE THE TRUCKS DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THE TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IN THE FAST LANE. THE GAS PEDAL DID NOTHING AND THERE WAS NO WAY OUT OF THE FAST LANE SAFELY. I NORMALLY WOULDN'T FILE A COMPLAINT EXCEPT IN THIS SITUATION WE HAD JUST PURCHASED THIS "CERTIFIED" USED VEHICLE, IT PUT MY FAMILY IN EXTREME DANGER, AND THE SERVICE CONSULTANT AT FORD HAD INDICATED TO ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE F150 MODEL. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY OR ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SENSOR THAT HAD GONE OUT AND THAT THE SERVICE CONSULTANT HAD SEEN IT ON FORD F150 TRUCKS RANGING FROM BRAND NEW TO OLDER MODELS. *TR

VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER FOR TUNE UP WHICH WAS QUOTED AT A MINIMUM TO BE $500 FOR PARTS AND LABOR DUE TO KNOWN ENGINEERING FLAW WITH THE SPARK PLUGS.
