My 17 yer old daughter was driving at highway speed and vehicle lost power and immediatley slowed quickly. There were vehicles in front and in back of her at the time and since the vehicle slowed on it's own, there were no brake lights to warn traffic around her that she was slowing. Very scary situation. Ford dealership diagnosed the problem as a bad throttle body, with a 2 month wait for the part due to high…

Driving down interstate 45 in houston, car was running, but no power from the gas pedal. Needed to coast to an exit where i stopped completely. I needed to power down the car completely then restart the car before the gas pedal worked again. This has happened twice. The other time was about a month earlier. Ford service department said it was a defective "throttle body". Something like that shouldn't fail so early.…

And the decreasing speed while i was in my lane had me nervous as other vehicles came up…
