WAS DRIVING IN MORNING. TURNED ON THE HEATED SEAT. GOT SO HOT THAT IT BURNED MY REAR. TRIED TO TURN IT OFF BUT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. COULD SMELL SEAT BURNING. HAD TO PULL OVER AND GET OUT. TURNED OFF VEHICLE AND LET SEAT COOL DOWN. STARTED CAR AND SEAT NO LONGER HEATS. LOOKED ONLINE AND FORUMS SAY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS BIG TIME! *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY TRAVELING ABOUT 70 MPH, THE ENGINE WENT INTO "LIMP" MODE AS I WAS IN THE FAST LANE. IT HAD NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE SO I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NOBODY BEHIND ME AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL THREE LANES OVER TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER. IF THERE WAS ANYBODY BEHIND ME I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE. FORD TECH TOLD ME IT WAS AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND CANNOT BELIEVE THE PART HASNT BEEN RECALLED. IRRESPONSIBILITY BY FORD, IF YOU ASK ME. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED TO DECELERATE AT A RAPID PACE AND EVENTUALLY STALLED. WE NOTICED A WRENCH LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD AS WE PULLED THE CAR OVER. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE A COUPLE OF MILES BEFORE THE SAME THING WOULD OCCUR. AFTER A COUPLE MORE TIMES OF HAVING TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. THANKFULLY WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO A FAMILY MEMBERS HOUSE AS WE WERE APPROX 90 MILES FROM HOME. THE CODE WE PULLED FROM THE CAR WAS P2111.....INDICATIVE OF THIS INFAMOUS THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL. WE ENDED UP HAVING TO GET TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP 35 MILES AWAY.....YET ANOTHER 35 FROM OUR HOME. THANKFULLY THIS WAS COVERED UNDER OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN FROM FORD. A COWORKER OF MINE HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO....SAME MAKE/MODEL/YEAR. LUCKILY THE HIGHWAY WE WERE ON WASN'T BUSY AT THE TIME THE CAR STALLED REPEATEDLY. I DON'T SEE HOW THIS CAN'T BE A RECALL...... *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY THE THROTTLE RESPONSE BECAME VERY UNRESPONSIVE, AND THE CAR SHUT OFF AT SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 55MPH LEAVING MY WIFE AND INFANT DAUGHTER TO SLOWLY DRIFT OFF THE ROAD AT THE BEST POSSIBLE PLACE. THERE WAS A "SHUTTERING" OF THE VEHICLE, AND POOR THROTTLE RESPONSE BEFORE IT SHUT OFF WHILE AT OPERATING SPEED. *TR
