I was pulling out of my work parking lot, going less than 10mph, and i lost all acceleration in my car. I was able to pull to the curb, put it in park, shut it off, then restart. It started hard, and immediately had the "wrench" icon on. Again, i had no acceleration.

I was driving down the road at 45 mph and the engine stalled. It was very dangerous but i did not get into an accident. I waited a few minutes and started the car back up and it worked fine for about two miles and did the same thing again. I found out through ford that it was the throttle body and even the dealership admitted it was becoming a big problem. The part is back ordered for a month and it was not covered…

An engine warning light came on. Repeated restarts of the engine met with low rpm and surging engine conditions which would not "settle down" before the engine stalled again. After leaving the engine off for about 30 minutes, i was…

While driving, the electronic throttle body malfunctioned, causing my car to start to lose speed rapidly. I was in interstate traffic, making this issue that much more dangerous. I was lucky that i was in the right hand lane without heavy traffic and could pull safely off of the road. This has occurred multiple times since then. It seemed to be an intermittent problem, but has now put my car out of commission until…
