I was going down the freeway at approximately 65 mph, and out of nowhere my car lost power and began to decrease speed. I tried to press the accelerator and there was no response. I pulled to the side of the road and put the car in park and it was very rough idling. I turned off the car, waited a few seconds and turned the car back on and it seemed fine. Now this has happened to me at least 20 times in the last few…

Engine appeared to cut out at 2 different instances today. First time was when turning right out of the neighborhood and the 2nd time was when merging with traffic. In both cases, the car lost all power and did not seem to even coast well. I had a blinking wrench on the dash and was lucky to have not been in an accident. Car was able to restart after pulling to the side of the road and putting it into park. This has…

While driving on at least 6 occasions, vehicle stopped propulsing and had no throttle. A code appeared indicating a throttle/ transmission problem. I contacted ford, and they indicated this is a known issue with my make and model, and not covered under warranty. After researching this online there are so many problems, the part has been back-ordered months at a time, more than once. This problem has been noted in…

It stalled again later in that same trip. Then it stalled again twice on my way home. Luckily, i was on a non busy road with a shoulder. Then it seemed to run fine for a few days, but after driving over 50 miles, it happened again. I was…

As i was driving, i noticed that my car seemed to 'buck'- and alternately feel as if it was losing power and about to stall. This continued for about 10 minutes, until my car lost power entirely, and a 'wrench shaped light' appeared on the display, followed by the check engine light. I shut the car off, and waited a few minutes, and was able to start it, but the same lights and stalling repeated itself in less than…

I was going to a friends house. My car would not accelerate. The wrench light came on. If i pressed on the gas pedal the tact would move up but the car wouldn't. It was shaking. It was towed to the dealership and the throttle body was changed. Apparently the throttle body is a defective part that needs to be recalled. The dealer said that the part was on back order. Then later that day he got 8 new throttle bodies…

Driving down interstate at 70 miles per hour in far left lane when vehicle unexpectedly loses power. Accelerator pedal completely unresponsive, and engine speed drops to approximately 800 rpm. I had to quickly maneuver across two lanes, which were occupied by tractor trailers to get to right shoulder. Came extremely close to having a major accident during heavy traffic which would have certainly involved 15-20…

Since i have owned the car it would occasionally fail to start on the first turn of the key. The engine would crank for 5+ seconds until i turned the key to the "off" position, removed the key and tried again. It would always start on the second try... Just recently (beginning of june 2013) i noticed my tachometer was going from 7000 to 4000rpm at stop signs and traffic lights but the car never stalled. On 6/26/13…
