Consumer Description

My truck keeps going into a limp mode where there is zero power even when pressing gas pedal. While in limp mode, engine won't rev up at all. In addition, the vehicle begins to show errors such as "Service AdvancetTrac", "Collision Warning not available", "Hill Start Assist nit available". From the research I have done, this appears to be a well-known throttle body issue documented by Ford. The question is why hasn't there been a recall. This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS as the truck essentially becomes powerless on the road. Please advise.
