    Traveling on the street at about 40 mph, car shuddered to a stop. Engine light came on. Had car towed home. Car started the next day. Carefully drove the car to the ford dealer. They replaced the throttle body. The throttle body should not be failing at 60000 miles. This should be a recall. *tr

While driving , i started speeding up from an intersection, only to experience a complete and total loss of power, the wrench light came, the engine started misfiring (rough idle at less than 700 rpm), but all systems where still working.

I felt a sticking on the gear and a…
