I was very worried when my car appeared to just turn off as i was slowing down from the interstate. I thought it was a fluke, bad connection and hoped it would never do it again. Car did start back up with no issues, that day. Unfortunately, it happened a lot on saturday 7/20/13. I parked the car and never drove it sunday. Called ford first thing monday - 7/22/13 and they were too busy to help. I had to take my car…

Afraid to drive my car because of this.…

Nothing happened as i pressed the gas pedal. I was able to pull the car over to the side of the road in a parking lot. The dashboard had a wrench light on. The car in the engine area was still vibrating and shaking, with no power but to…

I was able to start the car and go another 2 miles when it happened again. The error code…

While accelerating, cruising or at idle, the engine stalls then dies. When restarting engine stumbles badly and dies. This happens in traffic, accelerating into intersections, at highway speeds, etc. Mil is now on constantly. Vehicle is completely unusable because it is past the warranty period. We will be replacing the throttle body at our own expense, but would like ford to reimburse us. *tr

Four incidences since onset. When accelerating, at approximately 25 mph, the car appears to stall. A "wrench" (maintenance) light comes on. Then, when pushing gas pedal, it appears as if the car does not receive fuel. Pull to the side of the road, turn off and restart car and proceeds normally. *tr

On more that one recent occasion while driving on local roads, the car's engine would start idling poorly, and the car would start coasting and not responding to the gas pedal. I would have to pull over, turn the car off, wait 30 seconds and restart the car. I took the car to my local ford dealer for repair on 7/24/13, and they replaced the throttle body to rectify this issue. From searching online, i found that…

I attempted to start it and on the second try it did but felt like it was running on 2 cylinders.so i let it sputter along the shoulder to the exit where i…

Faulty throttle body has caused several engine stall events on and off highway. Car in shop awaiting replacement part. Ford service acknowledged that this is a well known defect without a recall yet announced. They advised not driving the car again until part is replaced as that would be "very dangerous." why would this not be a recall yet? *tr

This has happened on multiple occasions. While driving down the road going approx 45 mph. Suddenly the vehicle would lose throttle response and/or stall all together. On at least two occasions i have almost been rear-ended once almost by a semi-truck. I have done my research on the symptoms concerning my vehicle, and have found out that this is due to a failing throttle body. I have also found out that this has…
