2003 Thunderbird goes into "limp mode" and the car suddenly will not go above 25mph. . . . I am told it is a safety feature. . . But this is not safe if you are driving on the interstate! I am told this time it is a throttle body. . . Which I have been waiting for over 30 days. Ford does not have parts for their cars.
When braking the brake pedal goes down past the gas pedal, foot to hit them at the same time. It is a very unsafe condition because you are braking and accellerating at the same time. Also the brake pedal is too close to the gas pedal. I think the brake pedal should never depress below the gas pedal. My wife and I have the same problem. Dealer has said it is normal.
