Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 FORD EXPEDITION (4 SEPARATE INCIDENTS) DOWN THE ROAD, A WARNING MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE MESSAGE CENTER TO "CHECK ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL". THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL ACCELERATION, ACCELERATOR DOES NOT WORK, I HAVE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, RESTART THE VEHICLE THEN IT RUNS FINE. VERY DANGEROUS, FORTUNATELY NO ONE HURT AND NO DAMAGE. BUT IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN ON AN INTERSTATE IN THE LEFT LANE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC...?? VERY SCARY SITUATION! ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC AND A FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY CANNOT FIND A CAUSE AND NO FAULT CODES COME UP IN COMPUTER. SUGGEST POSSIBLE FIX OF REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY FOR ABOUT $700-800, WITH NO RESPONSIBILITY FROM FORD. *TR
