I was traveling north on i-75 at about 65-70 mph, when all of a sudden i lose power, as though the car's not getting any gas. Nothing happened when i tried to continue accelerating. I coasted it off the interstate, i was in the far right hand lane, so i was able to do this rather easily. When the car stopped, it began shuddering and shaking, idling very rough. The little wrench light came on. When i got my wits back…

On 8/2/2013, i was driving on i-68w near rocky gap, md. While driving down the mountain, the car's rpms jumped up to 4000 rpms from its normal 2000 rpms. I tried applying the brakes and pumping the gas to try to get the car to operate normally. After 30 or 40 seconds, the car returned to 2000 rpms. This repeated a couple times over the next few minutes. Eventually, i was going up a mountain,when the car's rpms…

Throttle body faults w/out warning (ford part 9e926). When driving at highway speed the engine light (wrench) appeared and the car abruptly lost acceleration decreasing immediately from 70 mph to approx 10 mph in high speed interstate traffic. Engine idle bounced between 1.5 and 3.5 rpm causing the car to jerk and feel like it was going to stall. I was driving with my 5 year old son and was almost rear ended and…

Was traveling at approximately 55mph when the car lost all propulsion. I was able to get to the shoulder, shut it down, and start back up after about a minute. This occurred 3 times on a [redacted]. Appears to be a faulty throttle body based on the codes being thrown off. The car only has 40,000 miles and based on multiple user boards this is a problem ford is aware of. Unacceptable for such a key part to fail so…

The car has died unexpectedly. The wrench and engine light will go on, it did it once on july 27, aug. 24 and 25 and on sept 4, it died twice on the freeway in rush hour traffic. The ford service dept. Diagnosed it as a "faltering throttle box". There is a wait of a month for these. *jb

Pressing the accelerator did nothing, and all my electronics stayed on. The car did not shutter or shake, just a natural slowdown. Luckily i was able to change lanes quickly on the freeway and pull over. I stopped my car and restarted it and everything worked as normal. This…
