Vehicle traveling at 55mph and wrench light came on. Vehicle engine did not stall but dropped rpms and would not respond to pressing the accelerator. Vehicle slowed to a crawl onto the shoulder of the highway. After putting car in park and shutting off engine and then starting up again the wrench light went off and the car ran fine. This has happened several times in the past few days even on the interstate with heavy traffic behind me...I have almost been rearended several times while I was trying to get off the road out of traffic!!!

On several occasions I will be driving my car and it begins to shake and cut off. The battery light comes on and a wrench will appear next to the parking light. I was stopped at a stop light, once the light changed I took my feet off the break and pushed on the gas. My car stalled then shook as I drove forward through the intersection my car cut off again. I had to urgently put on my flashers. I have a child and that us very dangerous. I tried starting my car again and it made the sound as if it were going to start but it didn't. The battery light came on again. I tried another time and it worked. I began driving for no more than 3 minutes and my car shut off again. I turned into a parking lot and tried to start my car. We sat there for 5 minutes. The I drove to walmart which is usually only a few minutes away. My car shut off at 4 lights on the way to walmart, and pulling into the walmart parking lot, 4 lights on the way home. This was all in one day. I am so afraid to get on the highway because my car could go out while I'm driving and someone may run into the back of my car.

I brought my 2011 mercury milan from sandy springs ford last year. The vehicle now has 60k miles on it and I am experiencing stalling/acceleration problems which are happening more frequently since the initial fault. When driving my car decelerates and I cannot pick up speed so the car eventually stops. The wrench light came on indicating something was wrong. This happened to me 4 four times since last week (3 times on the highway) and I had to hurry up and pull my vehicle over on the side of the highway as the speed decelerated and before it stopped (dangerous). I took my car to the dealership today and that said that it was a throttle body issue and that ford has been receiving numerous complaints regarding throttle bodies. I am highly concerned for the safety of myself and others driving these ford vehicles.
