| The throttle body failed while i was driving about 65 miles per hour on interstate 65. this fail happened at an extremely busy portion of i-65 as you leave indiana and cross into louisville, ky. luckily, the time of day was approximately 1:30 p.m. so traffic was rather light. if this had happened during rush hour, i would not have been able to get my car off the interstate and over to an emergency lane. who knows what that result would have been - a horrible crash - possibly death. ford really needs to step up and recall the throttle body part. as i have researched this on the internet, i see many instances where ford appears to have several models (old and new) that are experiencing failed throttle body components. this is unacceptable and will surely cause additional fatalities (they have already had one fatality due to this part failure). *tr | |||
