WAS DRIVING IN MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC GOING ABOUT 50MPH ON A HIGHWAY. CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND WENT "LIMP" WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. WAS ABLE TO GET CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD BEFORE IT COMPLETELY STOPPED. IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING AS CARS WERE CLOSE BEHIND ME AND COULD HAVE EASILY REAR-ENDED ME. HUSBAND CAME TO THE SCENE AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART CAR AND DRIVE IT. SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. HAD CAR TOWED TO LOCAL SHOP OWNED BY FORD DEALER. THEY CONCLUDED THAT WE HAD CARBON BUILD UP IN THE FUEL SYSTEM THAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THEY CLEANED OUT THE "GUNK" AND CHARGED US $350. FOUR DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I HAD BOTH OF MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND MY DOG. CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION IN THE MIDDLE OF 5PM TRAFFIC! WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER IN SHOPPING CENTER BEFORE IT COMPLETELY DIED. TOWED IT BACK TO DEALER. THIS TIME THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM, BUT RECALIBRATED IT (WHATEVER "IT" IS). I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN FOR FEAR THAT IT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I'M GOING 65MPH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY! IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN. FORD NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. FROM WHAT I READ, IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OF THEIR MODELS AND HAS TYPICALLY INVOLVED THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR
