Car loses power and stalls at city or highway speeds (have to pull over). Car shuts down when idling. Ford was contacted by our service center and we're told we need a new throttle body, but they are on back-order. There are at least 5000 orders ahead of us. Service person said he is not aware of a recall for this problem. Car was purchased new. *tr

Was driving on a state road going approximately 40-45 mph. Began to accelerate to go up an incline and then engine sputtered and then shut off. Same thing happened a week later going about 5-10 mph while accelerating from a stop sign on a residential street. Took the car to the dealership and the problem was a bad throttle body which was replaced. *tr

After coasting to the side of the road and turning the engine off and on again…

The car suddenly stopped accelerating and the engine would only produce about 800 rpm. I shut the car off and restarted it and the problem repeated the next day at a lower speed (30 mph). The dealer diagnosed it and said it due to a defective throttle position sensor which would cost $475 and is not covered under any warranty. *tr
