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

This is a very dangerous situation that is known to ford (faulty throttle body). Someone is going to die soon or get hurt in an accident if the car loses power like this. There are hundreds of complaints on the internet about this known problem. Ford should do a recall…

Throttle body is defective on vehicle. Causes vehicle to not get any gas and shuts down to an idle with the wrench light illuminating. Many people have this known issue. Driving in dallas i found this to be very unsafe with so much traffic. Could have been seriously injured as the vehicle would not move. *tr

I was driving on the highway and my car came to a sudden stop. It was sudden enough where my head smacked the steering wheel. I later came to find out that it was a bad throttle body on the car. My car has been in a shop for 2 weeks now and the mechanics are telling me that ford is having massive issues with the part and its on a national back order for up to 6 weeks.
