2006 FORD FUSION Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AT TYPICAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS (60MPH-70MPH) THE WRENCH INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON IN THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR LOOSES THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE ANY FASTER THAN ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR. WE PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF AND START IT BACK UP AGAIN AND IT APPEARS TO RUN FINE. THIS CAN HAPPEN RANDOMLY ONE DAY AND THEN NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR A FEW WEEKS OR EVEN A MONTH OR TWO THEN IT DOES IT AGAIN. BASED ON MY RESEARCH COMPARING OTHER DRIVERS POSTING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY OR WHAT IS SOMETIMES CALLED THE ETB = ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. THE PROBLEM IS THE RESULT OF THE COMPUTER AND SENSORS SENDING BAD SIGNALS TO THE THROTTLE BODY MECHANISM WHICH THEN AFFECTS THE AIR/GAS MIXTURE AND ADVERSELY AFFECTS ACCELERATION, THIS IS DANGEROUS AND A SAFETY...

WHILE DRIVING MY ENGINE INTERMITTENTLY SHUTS OFF. THE CAR WILL STILL BE "ON". IN THE SENSE THAT THE AC AND RADIO AND OTHER FEATURES ARE STILL WORKING, BUT THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE OR MOVE. I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK. AND RESTART IT. "CHECK ENGINE" AND "CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM" INDICATOR LIGHTS POP UP ON THE DASH. I HAVE DONE SEVERAL THINGS, CHANGE BELTS, CHANGED ALTERNATORS, CHANGED CAM SHAFTS, AND FINALLY AFTER THAT THOUSAND DOLLARS WAS SPENT THE CODE I'M GETTING READ FROM MY MECHANIC IS FOR THE THROTTLE BODY SHUT DOWN.

WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED ON DASH AND WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE CITY STREETS THE CAR HAS A SLUGGISH START AND THEN A BIT OF A BURST AND THEN LIGHT POWER AS I ACCELERATE. ALSO I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE DOOR HANDLES AND LOCKS 3 TIMES SINCE I HAVE PURCHASE. THE HANDLES JUST SNAP OFF. THE CAR WILL UNLOCK BUT I HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK MOST LOCKS AND OPEN THE CAR BY PUTTING DOWN THE WINDOW.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 5 EVENING COMMUTE, GOING UP A HILL WHEN THE ENGINE LOST POWER, REACHING A MAXIMUM SPEED OF 20MPH WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL PRESSED DOWN FULLY. THE ESC LIGHT AND A "WRENCH" LIGHT BOTH ILLUMINATED. WAS ABLE TO SAFELY EXIT THE INTERSTATE AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I RESTARTED WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED LIGHTS REMAINING OFF. VEHICLE RAN FINE. TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND WAS TOLD THE THROTTLE BODY WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED, WHICH I REJECTED AT THE TIME. THE VEHICLE RAN FINE UNTIL 1 DAY PAST A YEAR FROM THE FIRST INCIDENT (JUNE 26, 2014). THE SAME THING HAPPENED TWICE, ONCE AT 60MPH AND AGAIN AT 40MPH. IT OCCURRED AGAIN ON JUNE 27, 2014, HOWEVER THIS TIME FROM A STOP. I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE FROM THE STOP SIGN AND BARELY MADE IT ACROSS THE INTERSECTION. EACH OCCURRENCE I...
