Drove about 30 miles slow down to a red light when engine went into failsafe mode but did not throw any codes. There was no check engine light at all. It took a couple of tries to get it running again. I am very concerned for my safety while driving extensively on highways without any clue as to how to solve this issue.

Driving at 55 MPH the vehicles wrench light came on and it went into a reduced RPM mode, causing the vehicle to lose all power and go from 55 to 10 MPH rapidly. Put on the hazard lights and pulled off of the highway. Not wanting to turn the vehicle off I drove slowly to a mechanic where he ran a code check and the codes read p2107 and p2110. Told it could be one of 2 problems, throttle body or PCM. We replaced the throttle body. The car began after about a week to do the same thing about once a week. Turning off the car and restarting seem to fix the problem. About a 3 weeks later the same thing occurred however this time the engine light also appeared and would not clear with a restart. Same codes appeared p2107 and p2110. Next replaced the PCM, this did not fix the problem. The ford dealership ran diagnostics and could not find the problem. This tends be a safety issue that lincoln ford are trying to ignore. Rear end collisions could occur when this occurs. A safety bulletin needs to be released and ford needs to make things right.

Sudden loss of throttle response on 2005 lincoln ls with 3.9l engine. This happened many times recently with my daughters vehicle. Close calls when in other traffic when there is sudden loss of throttle. When this occurs, there is no mil ( malfunction indicator light ) nor is there a dtc ( diagnostic trouble code. Vehicle will only idle enough to get off road. Turn off ignition and restart vehicle with no problem. This is recurring more frequently with her car and also have read alot of forums about this problem. Vast similarities on all forums with no apparent resolution from ford lincoln.
