When driving at high speeds on the freeway there is a jerk in the car, the triangle warning light comes on that says pull over when safe, the engine shuts off, and we can no longer accelerate. We pull over, turn off the car, and then turn it back on.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 mercury milan. While driving various speeds, the vehicle would not shift past 4 rpms. Also, when depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle jerked and shook while accelerating. The contact also stated that the vehicle shut off while the accelerator pedal was depressed. The check engine, traction control, and transmission warning indicators illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed that the throttle body was defective and needed to be replaced. The contact spoke with gosch ford hemet (150 carriage cir, hemet, ca 92545, 951‑396‑7250) and was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The contact informed the dealer that she discovered manufacturer recall number: 13n03, which was a free repair ford offered its customers with defective throttle bodies. The dealer informed the contact that they were unaware of the recall and referred her to the manufacturer. When the contact spoke with the manufacturer, the contact was informed that they were aware of this particular recall; however, her vehicle was out of warranty and was no longer entitled to the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 126,000.

My mom was driving on the freeway at 65-70/MPH and all of a sudden the car jerked and shut off while it was rolling down the road. There was no warning! She could have been killed! The car suddenly lost acceleration power and the wheel locked up on her. We've checked to see if there has been any recalls and apparently there's a recall for the 2011 models, but nothing older. However, I have read multiple forums and there's been quite a few people that have had this issue. Again, she could've been killed!! Something needs to be done!!

Engine goes to 4000 at highway speed and transmission slips while driving at 70 on interstate. Won't shift unless throttle is backed way off. At low speed on 2-1 downshift, it bangs into gear jerking you out of the seat and causing possible loss of control. Only does it on slight inclines. I purchased new 11/3/2009 car only has 24,818 miles on it and has been serviced only at ford dealers.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 mercury milan. While driving 70 MPH, the vehicle dropped out of overdrive and jerked forcefully. The contact stated that the engine reved and the speedometer fluctuated up and down from 0-120 constantly. The vehicle jerked back and forth each time the engine was started and when shifting into drive and reverse. The contact believed the throttle control cables were failing because, while idling, the vehicle reved up to 2 rpms. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was 111,656.

Third time taking my car in, cause the check engine light & wrench light comes on. Keep getting code po455, po457 and now p2119. I just went in less then 3 mths ago and had the throttle body PCM calibration update, bam starting again. It is very scary to go down the road and lose power or while driving give it gas & it jerks. 2010 milan

My vehicle sometimes stalls in motion or it will suddenly jerk forward when accelerating. This incident also occurs when accelerating to high speeds, such as getting on the freeway. The speed varies as it has also occured in town driving. It has gotten to the point where the only way to fix this problem is to turn off the engine and then turn it back on.

This has occurred several times now. I will be driving and the car will suddenly stall and decrease in speed. There have been several times that I have almost been hit by another car as well. I went to ford and they told me my throttle body needed to be replaced, so I did that. Approximately a year later the same thing started to occur. I took it back and they said they did an update, however about two months later the same issue occured. I took it back to ford because I am under warranty and they kept my car for 4 days and said they could not find the issue. Recently now only the battery and the oil canister comes on, but when it stalls out now it jerks really hard going forward then stalls out. It is very dangerous and I am afraid to drive my car. I called ford as well and they said there was nothing that they can do. It's sad to see other people are experiencing the same thing and they won't do anything I will never buy a ford again.
