I was driving down the highway and my engine lost power. My car would not accelerate. I could not even go the speed limit. The dealer had to replace the throttle body. Ford was changing these out through their own recall but that ended years ago. This problem is very popular over the ford models and could wind up killing somebody when the engine cuts out. Ford is not standing behind the safety of their customers and…

Car stopped accelerating in the middle of the highway, yellow wrench light came on and airbag light came on. The car started shaking and came to a complete stop. I barely made it to safety on the highway full of cars. I pulled over and turned it off because it wouldn't drive. I turned it back on and it drove fine.

Similar to issues others were having with the throttle control placing the car into "limp" mode, it would appear that this is what happened yesterday as my wife was driving the car on a major highway near pittsburgh (376 west, near the split of 79 north/south) with me in the passenger seat, and three kids under the age of 9 in the back seat. Without warning, the car seemingly shut off or "throttled down" and began…

While driving today, i suddenly lost the ability to accelerate. The vehicle began to vibrate abnormally, and then the power went out. I began to smell smoke, and i almost hit the vehicle in front of me because i couldn't control my car! Once i finally came to a stop, i was able to restart it and pull over to a safer area-- but the smoke remained. I believe the throttle body is malfunctioning, which is unacceptable…

I feel that electromagnetic…
