About 2-3 weeks ago, while driving in the outer banks, nc, i had a sudden loss of power in the vehicle and an yellow wrench sign came. Luckily, i was able to pull off the road and shut the car off. Once restarted, it worked ok. I went to cavalier ford dealer at portsmouth, va and they could not find anything wrong. Since there was no recall or mention of this problem from ford, i was told not to worry about it.…

The next day (7/20/15), when we drove the suv to the dealership, it happened a 3rd time. Galpin ford (n hills, ca)…

A wrench appeared on my driver's display. I was able to pull to a stop and i shut the vehicle off. After several minutes i attempted…

I was driving vehicle up a slight grade at 30mph. Engine power suddenly dropped to an idle rpm. It felt like it was running on 1 cylinder and very rough.

My throttle body has gone out on my edge causing my car to completely stall out in rush hour traffic and on the highways. I have read forums about many warranty extensions that ford put on vehicles very similar to my own because of this issue but mine was not one of those. I'm now having to pay $800 to fix a problem that ford created!

I was driving and all of a sudden the vehicle started idling high and sputtering. Then the check engine light came on. The engine just shut off. Luckily there was no one behind me. I could have been rear-ended. This is third time this has happened. The first time it happened i took it to ford and they said there was no code to tell them what was wrong with it. They replace the throttle body sensor and check engine…

Car almost shuts down, you can drive it at 1 mph or restart & it works fine. Engine light does come on. Had it towed to dealership & they couldn't find anything wrong. We are both handicap, it's are only car & shuts off daily. Dealership can not do anything unless we bring it, take a mechanic with us & it happens while he is in the car!! *tr

While driving through an intersection, vehicles stalled. "awd fail" light exhibited. Turned off ignition and restarted. Second event, same circumstances, again had to coast to side of intersection to restart. Same indications. Took to dealership and diagnosed as throttle body failure. Had to be replaced. Concerns: (1) safety (2) throttle body should not be failing with this few miles (3) ford forum indicates that…
