While driving through a busy intersection, the vehicle seemed as if it had shifted into neutral rendering the accelerator powerless. I was able to coast into a parking lot and noticed the wrench warning light being on. The engine was also shaking very noticeably. I turned off the engine and read up on the warning light to learn it indicated a powertrain failure. Called a mechanic who stated it could be the throttle body and/or throttle body actuator. It was suggested the engine should be turned off (already done) and restarted. I did as instructed and the engine began running smoothly again. Wrench warning light was no longer on. Without having control of the powertrain, this situation could have caused an accident as I had no ability to control the vehicle's power and could not navigate through the intersection in a safe manner. I feel like my safety and others was put at risk. I have taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who is also an Auto Mechanic Instructor at the local high school. I await his diagnostic result. There were no earlier symptoms or wrench warning light previous to this incident.

I was driving at approximately 50 MPH, in a steady-state in mild traffic, when the wrench icon in the left-side of the dashboard lit up momentarily and the vehicle lost all power. The engine was still running but was unresponsive. I had to coast to a stop, turn it off then re-start the vehicle. It did so again upon driving it on monday aug 19. Ford was contacted and denied the issue, even though this exactly mimics the reason for the recall on 2015 ford flexes/lincoln mkts, etc. With the same powertrain!

55,000 miles. Orange wrench warning light came on driving through town about 25 MPH. Lost power and coasted across the rail road tracks in town. Vehicle was still running, however had no power and minimal idle speed. I got pulled off to the side of the road. Diagnostic said to check manual. I tried to do that and the vehicle wasn't idling the best, so I shut it off. I was at a busy intersection and was on my way to pick up my daughter from her first day at daycare, so in a little disarray. I turned the vehicle back on and regained full functionality. The next day it replicated the error twice in about a 4 mile stretch. I got it shut off and restarted then directly over to the dealership. They have had it for 8 days and can't replicate the error.
