This has been an issue in other ford models. Is there a recall? There needs to be a recall before I get run over by other vehicles when my engine stalls while trying to accelerate! It is extremely dangerous to enter or exit highways and beltways when one cannot be sure the car engine will remain operational, power steering guidance will remain available and another vehicle will not be able to avoid running into me. Very dangerous to everyone on the highway. I personally clean the throttle and this is still happening.
