Vehicle traveling at 70 MPH on interstate engine quit and loss of steering and control. Pulled over re started happened again. And engine light went on. Re started drove to dealer later and discovered after $100.00 diagnostic that the throttle body was not working properly . Happened when mileage was between 38-39000. They wanted me to pay over $590.00 to replace their defective part at ford dealership they refused to put it under any warranty or recall . I did not have it fixed. It is a danger to allow this matter not to be recalled as it has happened thousands of times in many ford vehicles.
