Vehicle jerked forward and yellow wrench light illuminated. I'm told this is a electronic throttle body malfunction due to internal contamination on the internal motor contacts. Vehicle was in motion at time. Ford sent me two letters on this subject but refuses to fix it unless they can see code. Code is erased when engine shut off according to ford.

When we use the max a/c it recirculates and you can smell very heavy gas. When you turn it to regular a/c the smell goes away. It is horrible.

Just to let everyone know, some people have been complaining about fueling issues. Check the vent valve attached to the intake manifold. I replaced one and the vehicle fuels up just great. Also the check engine light went out after a few days

The vehilcle went into a mode where it was able to keep throttling and was about to stall. It would throttle up and down on its own while moving. Powering off the vehicle corrected the issue for the time being.
