While driving at 60mph on us 85 n the engine light came on with a message "check electronic throttle control" the speed began to drop and i could not accelerate. I began to merge to the right to the emergency lane. I turned off the engine and started again. Then i drove the vehicle home. It was a very scary experience i could have been in an accident. It was very dangerous. This should be a recall problem. *kb

Original factory spark plug backed out from cylinder head. Checked remaining 7 spark plugs. Four of seven loose. Mechanic recommended using heli coil kit on all spark plug threads. Mechanic mentioned that this was a common occurrence on ford 5.4 liter engines. If this is true, it appears as though a recall should be required for repair of cylinder heads. *tr

It has now done this about 5 or 6 times. We have nearly been hit twice…

Car keeps dies in traffic almost everyday and the electronic throttle control light keeps coming on . Ford wants $800 to fix. With this safety issue, i believe there should some sort of action ford should take and fix the problem since it is always happening to this year and model so often. *tr
