Driving on city street once at about 30mph the first time about 60mph the second time. i suddenly lose speed and vehicle goes into limp mode. the wrench light also comes on. i can turn vehicle off then restart and it seems to be ok. it's happened twice in a month. took it to dealership for repair under field service action 13no3. ford refused to repair because they could not get a code off my vehicle indicating it was the electronic throttle body. so i would have to wait until it happens again, have it towed with the engine running so the wrench light will stay on because it goes off when i restart it.
Vehicle has taken to stalling/dying without warning. this has happened three times in the past week. the car was in gear and going approximately 20-25 mph each time this occurred. fortunately, i was on residential streets with 25 mph limits and no cars were in the immediate vicinity on each occasion.

As i'm driving the car would just stop giving gas the wrench light shows up and i have to cut the car off to get any gas it says it's the throttle body but i fixed that and it's still doing the same thing the wrench pops up and no gas pressure as i'm driving, and i was reading up on this it says ford has a problem with the power train or something that it causes the same problem, says it's official not a recall but something wrong with the programing i just got this call last year and don't know what to do
I was driving my son home from school in my 2010 escape, i went to merge onto the highway and as i pressed on the gas pedal to gain speed, my vehicle didn't want to take the gas and i thought it was going to stall. a wrench appeared on the panel and so did the service engine light. when i took it to my ford dealer, they told me it was the throttle body again and the purge valve again. i had the throttle body replaced in 2015 following the recall and the purge valve replaced in 2016. my complaint is they replaced the throttle body free the first time, why do i have to pay this time if it is still doing the same thing?
