2010 Ford F-150

MY 2010 FORD F150 HAS APPROX. 30,4XX MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PERFECTLY. IN A BRIEF SUMMARY, GOING IN TO WORK EARLY (5AM) POTENTIALLY SAVED ME FROM HAVING A WRECK TO DUE A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. UPON ACCELERATING FROM A RED LIGHT, MY TRUCK ENTERED INTO A "LIMP HOME" MODE (MECHANIC WRENCH ICON APPEARED) AND BEGAN TO INCORRECTLY REGULATE MY RPMS. THIS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO BECOME NEARLY STRANDED AS I WAS MOVING NO FASTER THAN 10MPH IN A 50MPH ZONE. I WAS LUCKILY ONLY 1/8TH OF A MILE FROM WORK AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE STREET. UPON LEAVING WORK, MY TRUCK WAS ACTING FINE WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS (NOT EVEN THE MECHANIC WRENCH). I THEN PROCEEDED TO DRIVE IT TO AN AUTO PARTS SUPPLIER TO HAVE A FREE DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED. NO CODES WERE SAVED OR SHOWED UP. HOWEVER, WHILE DRIVING BACK HOME, IT AGAIN ACTED UP AND ENTERED A LIMP MODE. THIS TIME BOTH "CHECK ENGINE" AND "MECHANIC WRENCH" LIGHTS WERE ON. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE NEAREST DEALER WHO THEN DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. I AM QUOTED $881 TO PERFORM THE REPLACEMENT OF A ~$150 PART...SINCE IT IS A 2010, IT IS OUT OF THE 3YR/36,000 BUMPER TO BUMPER AND FORD DOESN'T CONSIDER THE THROTTLE BODY PART OF THE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY (FORD WILL COVER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD THOUGH, A CHUNK OF PLASTIC THAT WON'T BREAK)... FORD HAS APPARENTLY HAD PROBLEMS W/ THEIR DRIVE-BY-WIRE THROTTLE BODIES, AS SEEN THROUGH THEIR "CONSUMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03" RECALL. THIS INCIDENT SHOULD DEFINITELY BE INVESTIGATED AS I HAVE TAKEN PROPER CARE OF MY TRUCK (THAT HAS 30,400 MILES) AND I AM STRANDED IN A ROAD, OFTEN TRAVELED BY 18 WHEELERS, GOING 10MPH. I AM NOT CONFIDENT IN MY FORD TRUCK. *TR
