2009 Ford Focus

DRIVING 65MPH - MIDDLE LANE OF THE FREEWAY - THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AND SUDDENLY THE MAX SPEED I COULD GENERATE WAS 20 MPH- MADE IT TO THE PULL OVER LANE- HAD TO CHANGE MY UNDERWEAR WHEN I GOT HOME. THE CAR SAT - ENGINE OFF FOR ABOUT 30 MIN ( WAITING FOR ROAD SERVICE WHO NEVER SHOWED) THE CAR RESTARTED AND YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW THERE WAS A PROBLEM IT DROVE FINE FOR SEVERAL DAYS. I WOULD HAVE WRITTEN IT OFF AS BAD GAS EXCEPT FOR INFO ON THE NET THAT MADE ME REALIZE I MAY HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. YOU DIDN'T ASK AND IT MAY NOT BE YOUR AREA OF BUT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY SAID IT COVERED ALL ELECTRONIC PARTS AND FUEL SYSTEM, BUT GEE WHIZ "WE'RE SORRY IT COVERS ALL EXCEPT THE THROTTLE BODY" THAT WILL BE $900 PLEASE. THEY ALSO MANAGED TO LOSE MY CALL FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE.. SOMEONE SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE EASY CARE CO. IF POSSIBLE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE WERE SERVICE BULLETINS ISSUED TO FORD DEALERS ABOUT THIS. SPECIFICALLY I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE PURCHASE WAS MADE FEB 2010. THANKS *TR

TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY IN PASSING LANE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON,NOTICED VEHICLE SLOWING DOWN. APPLIED PRESSURE TO GAS PEDAL,NO ACCELERATION. I HAD TO GET OFF ROAD QUICKLY BECAUSE CAR WAS COMING TO A STOP;ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IN DOING SO. VEHICLE IDLED ROUGH AND I HAD NO CONTROL OF ACCELERATION. I SHUT OFF VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO START IT UP AGAIN AND HAD ACCELERATION CONTROL AGAIN. TOOK VEHICLE TO FORD DEALER SHIP AND THEY REPLACED THROTTLE BODY. SERVICE TECH STATED THAT THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACING SEVERAL OF THESE THROTTLE BODIES ON FORD VEHICLES LATELY AND THEY EXCEPT A RECALL.MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. FORD KNOWS THIS ISSUE EXIST,GET IT RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. *TR
