| It began with only the wrench light going on and the rpm would go up and the car would lurch forward. i would reset it with a code checker and i would not have the problem. the problem and the light would eventually return. it was recommended to change the ari filter, the air filter was changed and the problem went away for approximately 3 weeks. now not only my wrench light but my engine light also goes on and it returns every day after resetting it. after i looked up the problem on the internet i found that the problems seems to appear in other ford models. i am very surprised that this is not a recall. this is a safety hazard and eventually someone will get hurt or killed before anything is done about this issue. | |||
