Consumer Description

the throttle body has failed, suspected by me doing research going back 11 years of the Ford Edge almost killing people while driving it. confirmed by my local ford dealership that i do infact need a new throttle body and gaskets. it goes into limp mode, the car loses power and stops working in the middle of driving 50 mph. No check engine light remains on, only a wrench icon appears until you restart the car, then the car works again for another 30 miles or until it wants to cause a major accident again. This is a HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. My car will jolt down to 10 mph, as if I slammed the brakes, while driving, not even having my foot on the gas, down the HIGHWAY where the speed limit it 55. THIS IS A KILLING MACHINE. I only have moments to pull over to the median or somewhere before I cause a major accident. They have recalled the 2009 through 2013 ford fusion and escape, as well as the milan and mariner because of the same issue. I have read hundreds of accounts online of the same thing happening in Edges... how can you allow this to go unchecked.
