Consumer Description

RANDOMLY THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER AND SHUT OFF. I HAVE TO STOP THE CAR AND THEN IT RESTARTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF A FREEWAY AND WAS LUCKY TO GET TO THE SIDE PULL OFF. VERY RANDOM AS IT ONCE HAPPENED TWICE IN A DAY AND THEN AGAIN A WEEK LATER. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM IN MULTIPLE FORDS IN DOING RESEARCH ON LINE. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED? PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY. VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW AND WAITING THEIR RESPONSE. *TR
