Consumer Description

THROTTLE - ENGINE SHUT OFF WHEN PUSHING GAS PEDAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES... WHEN ENTERING AND EXITING THE BELTWAY OR HWY. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I'VE SO FAR BEEN ABLE TO DRIFT ONTO SHOULDER OF THE ROAD TWICE BUT THE THIRD TIME THERE WAS NO SHOULDER. I WAS STUCK IN THE TRAFFIC LANE WITH NO POWER. I HAD HEART SPASMS DUE TO FEAR OF BEING RUN-OVER. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS A RECALL ISSUED. SIMILAR PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED IN OTHER FORD MODELS. I DO NOT WANT TO BE KILLED OR HAVE THIS PROBLEM RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE! HELP! THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN NOVEMBER 2016. I'M FEARFUL OF GOING OUT TO IMPORTANT APPOINTMENTS LIKE MY CANCER TREATMENTS AT MERCY MEDICAL CENTER THAT REQUIRES ME TO BE ON HIGHWAYS WITH SPEEDS UP TO 60 MPH. (DATES 11/19, 23 AND 28/2016,)
