While driving on freeway (60mph - 65mph) car suddenly stalls. No power to engine, need to limp to side of freeway (very dangerous). Car sits, then you can re-start. Sounds like electronic thottle body (etb) issue that you are well aware of. Why are you not investigating this issue??? Ford (westway ford, irving, tx) cannot diagnose. This is a critical safety issue. Cars stalling on freeway are a hazard to all parties. You guys need to investigate this issue.

My vehicle constantly goes into limp home mode while driving. Turns off all cylinders except 1 which let's you drive about 5mph. Also while my vehicle is at idle it begins to loose proper idle RPM and nearly stalls until revs back to a higher RPM. After some research I found that the issue is thought to be the throttle body and throttle body sensor. Currently mymy vehicle is at the dealership going through some vehicle diagnostics to figure out the exact problem. They told me it is not covered under the vehicle warranty and I am being charged $145.00 for the initial inspection and then charged by the hour to fix the problem, I not including parts. My vehicle only has 59,000 miles on it and it's already failing. It appears that numerous people are have this issue and ford has yet to recall affected vehicles.
