2006 Ford 500

IT HAS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, MOMENTARY ENGINE IDLE, RPM SURGE WHEN STOPPED OR DURING LOW SPEED DRIVING, SUCH AS TURNING INTO A PARKING OR BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. PULLING IN OR BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE. STOPING AT A STOP LIGHT, LUNGES FORWARD: CAME CLOSE TO CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE BY RUNNING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE IN PARKING LOT OR AT STOP LIGHT. SAFETY ISSUE, WHAT IF THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD AT A STOP LIGHT INTO INCOMING TRAFFIC, CAUSING BODILY INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. FORD SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I PURCHASED THIS CAUSE AFTER THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY EXTENSION WAS ISSUED. THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID NOT FIX THIS, I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT IT, NOW I WILL HAVE TO FIGHT TO GET FORD TO COVER A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE, THAT PUTS MY CHILDREN AT RISK. .

HI. THE RECALL FORD HAD ON THE THROTTLE BODY ISSUES BACK IN 2013 WHEN I GOT MINE FIXED. NOW 40 THOUSANDS MILES LATER THE CAR ALMOST LUNGE INTO TRAFFIC AT A RED LIGHT 2 TIMES. WELL THE CAR IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE I GOT THE THROTTLE BODY FIXED. I CALLED FORD IN CABOT AND THEY WANTED OVER 200.00 HUNDRED DOLLARS TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC AND TO CLEAN THE THROTTLE. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A FIXED ISSUE AND IT IS NOT. FORD IN CABOT TOLD ME IT WILL HAVE TO BE CLEAN OR THE UNIT HAS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IS AROUND 500 DOLLARS. WHAT A SCAM THEY ARE PULLING. THIS NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH ASAP. I HAVE TO SPEND 100 DOLLARS TO HAVE IT CLEANED SCAM. WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. IT HAS LOSS OF POWER AND RUNS BAD.
