Driving down the street and vehicle acts like it is running out of gas or vapor locking. Accelerator all the way down and vehicle slowing down to a stop. Wrench light comes on vehicle and take to ford dealership for repair. I feel like this should be covered under warranty due to the fact that several other throttles have reported going out on this year model. *tr
