I believe this car is also affected by the electronic throttle body issues plaguing fords. I was driving the vehicle when it suddenly loses power and the "wrench" light appears. The vehicle lost speed and did not respond to the gas pedal. I was able to pull over and restart the vehicle with temporary resolution of the problem. This has been a gradually worsening problem.

The gas pedal was non-responsive while idling and i was able to coast off to the side of the road where there was no throttle response. The wrench light was on the dash. I turned the car off and tried to start it again, it started fine and i was…

Upon accelerating from a full stop at a red light the car entered "limp" mode (would not accelerate, but i could still steer and the engine was still on) and the wrench light appeared on the dash. I already had the dealership perform the throttle fix of the 2014 recall on various ford models of 2009-2012. *tr

Driving the car home from the dealership cruising down the highway and suddenly the car just would not accelerate any more. Scary feeling when your cruising at 55 and suddenly the car would not stay at highway speed. It would still idle but it idled roughly. You could push down on the pedal but it would do nothing. It just lost all power so i had to quickly pull onto the shoulder of the road. Good thing no one was…

Startled, i gently pushed the gas pedal a bit more, that didn't help; tried again, still violently jump. I hit the clutch, pressed the break pedal just…

I was driving home from work last night and my car shut off. It shook violently and decelerated to a stop. I read online about the 13n09 consumer satisfaction program and since my car is exhibiting the same symptoms i decided to limp into the dealer.

Throttle body failed and required replacement. This is a known issue and there is an extended warranty on the part, but because the repair was done at a private service center and not a ford dealership, ford refuses to pay for the repair. Guess i won't be buying a ford ever again! *tr
