My 2013 ford mustang would lose engine power at highway speed. Would still run very rough, chugging at about idle. After a re-start it would run for a short time and repeat the event. Had the throttle body replace with a new ford one and the problem returned two weeks later. The "wrench" light would come on and I would lose power. Very dangerous at freeway travel. Ford says their recall does not apply to mustangs.
