  1. Throttle Body Service or Failure

    in 3.5L

    Posted

    Took my 2011 ford edge in today and guess what??? Throttle body needs to be replaced, they r replacing at their expense, but it is on back order, so who knows how long it will be until I get my car back however they gave me a 2013 ford focus to drive until my car is fixed....guess I can't complain

  2. Throttle Body Service or Failure

    in 3.5L

    Posted

    I was at the dealer for other work and was chatting with the mechanic about anything they see coming in on the 2013 Edge with 3.5L V6.

    He said that one thing they see a LOT of is dirty or failed Throttle Body. That they recommend having it cleaned every 15-20K miles. For $65 no less.

    So, I googled around for an hour or so and came up with NOTHING on this issue. Is this another "dealer service scam" or is this a REAL problem? He described it as causing the car to stall and, if bad enough, to not run at all. He also said that there was a "national shortage" of replacement throttle bodies due to the problem.

     

    You'd think that would show up somewhere if it were happening with such regularity.

     

    Anyone familiar with this issue or have this problem??

    my dad is a parts and service director for a Ford dealer in VA, and i have been having problems with my 08 3.5L. i asked him about it and his first thought was the throttle body as he sees alot of those come through. i would say, just by what he was telling me, that there are problems with them. not real sure about year models though.
